I cannot imagine why I only gave this 4½ stars. Bulleit, Cocchi and Campari, with the addition of 10 ml. Cherry Brandy (Bold London Spirit and Dutch syrup at a ratio of 3:1) and a few drops of Orange Bitters, all go down a real treat at this time of the year, especially in a Nick & Nora.

Maker's Mark, Campari, Martini. Wow, that's quite a flavour kick compared to a Negroni.

How much would you need to adjust the ratios if you wanted to use Aperol in place of Campari?

I did the right thing, got some Campari and made it properly. It's really quite nice.

Aperol is sweeter and a lot less bitter than Campari. No amount will taste the same. I'd experiment to your personal taste.

Probably worth linking to the "Left Hand" here which 'merely' adds bitters (a great addition, btw).

I Personally find the 2:2:1 ratio to be the best. 1 being Campari.
However, to make this work and balance the sweetness of the vermouth you d really need a punchier bourboun, whit an higher ABV.

Gotta love a classic. Went with a Bottled in Bond Bourbon to stand up to the Campari.

Made with 1.5 Old Forester 1920, 0.5 Tempus Fugit Gran Classico, and 1.0 Cocchi Storico. Very nice balance, the higher proof of the 1920 allows it to stand against the pronounced dry bitterness of the Gran Classico.

Tried 1:1:1 propotion and found that it is really too sweet for me, going to try 2:1:1 next time
