I'll admit it straight away - I'm a bitterness lover.
By replacing vermouth with Punt e Mes, I got a great balance of bitterness, sweetness and acidity.
I warn you right away: the bitterness is forward, but the lemony and sugary aftertaste is incredible!
This really lets the orange in the Campari shine through. Bitterness is still there but less intense than a regular Negroni, not surprisingly. Mild lemon. Herbal. Smooth. A bit on sweet side. This is a nice option if you're not in the mood for something as bitter as a Negroni, or don't like how bitter a Negroni is. Could also be a good "gateway" cocktail for those that are not familiar with Campari.
Very tasty cocktail for me, it has the right amount of bitter, sweet, and sour. It gives a creamy mouthfeel and refreshing taste, and don't forget the beautiful smell of orange peel.
