Hi Simon,
I've found that the addition of orange bitters adds the spine that it lacks without it. Also, in lieu of Blanc Vermouth as a Dry substitute, I've found that something off-center like Cocchi Americano fills that hole nicely as well (though I'd pull back on the bitters in that case).
All best,
Frank

What would you call a variant using clementine juice?

"Clementines are the smallest type of mandarin orange" so it would be an Improved Bronx.

Used Dolin Blanc with Dolin Rosso and it worked well. Agree with others that a blanc/bianco works better in a Bronx than a dry white; good call, Simon! Also added a dash of Fee Bros. orange bitters with the Angostura orange, which ups the orangeness.

This was excellent. The gin and vermouth works perfectly with the orange. Does have a wonderful herbal taste with the softening of the orange. Just the correct amount of sweetness.

The Bronx will never be my favorite cocktail, but this is by far a much better version than the original with Dry Vermouth.

By far the best Bronx I've tried. Still not sure I'd order it but when life gives you oranges...
