Well this was a little treat, something very Italian about it. Felt like I should have just got out of a little 2 seater wearing a cravat. Read all the other comments and decided to add 5ml to each of the gin and Bianco and 10ml less maraschino. Absolutely lovely.

40 Edinburgh Gin, 30 americano,15 Luxardo, 8 drops BT grapefruit bitters and I thought this was excellent. Very moreish and delicious; in the style on a white negroni.

Liked this, but found it just a bit too sweet for us. Added 1/2 oz more gin and the balance was still there, but the sweetness was diminished.

A bit too sweet might be putting it mildly but it's such wonderful combination of flavors! I'll be making this again plus the additional gin.

I replaced Americano Bianco with Lillet as I didn't have a bottle at hand, and the result was great. A very maraschino forward drink, but well balanced, in which cherry and grapefruit shine. So simple that it should have been a 100 years old recipe.

I thought the luxardo would be too much, and it was till I added the grapefruit twist
