Wish I didn't write this off after a couple sips. The aftertaste is wonderful. Immediately thought this might be better presented sparkling, recipe tweaked into a punch. I made this with Cocchi Americano and Tanqueray. The orange juice served as a pleasant background, not diluting the drink into mediocrity. But, like Calvin, I feel like a better (than navel orange) juice would make this excel. (18 Jan 2024, 7:34a)

Liked your suggestion; added a splash of tonic...delightful...definitely benefits from a full flavored orange juice. Salud!

Very nice cocktail on a warm evening. My ratios: gin 1. Lillet 1. Blood orange juice .75. Angostura 2 dashes. Backed off gin and added Lillet.

Just made this (or something like it), with Cocchi Rosa and blood orange juice and it was awesome. Pleasantly bitter with balancing tartness. What a difference good juice makes.

I wrongly had rosso vermouth in this recipe rather than white aromatised wine in the original 1930s recipe.

What an great aperitif. Smooth with a hint of bitterness and orange. Refreshing by itself or with hors d'oeuvres,
