I have tried this twice now, the first time as per recipe and the second time slightly increasing the gin to 1.25oz, as for me, the original ratio was too sweet (and I quite enjoy a sweet cocktail). I think now it may not be the sweetness that I reacted to the first time, but rather the heavy presence of orange. If I try this a third time, I will reduce the OJ to 1/2 or maybe 3/4 oz to see if this improves the overall balance. Having said that, as per other comments, the orange may appeal to those adverse to a classic Negroni.

Negroni for non-Negroni folks. A good use of orange juice. Next time I would maybe bump up all the liquor a bit.

So much softer and more refreshing than I was expecting. Finally, a negroni(sh) that I can foist upon my negroni hating friends.

Excellent balance of ingrredients and second campari and orange juice drink I have loved, clearly the two are a perfect match.

Superb. A lovely dry and crisp drink, one for the book

I used 1757 Vermouth di Torino and then Aperol to reduce the bitterness coming from the vermouth. In sum I think this is a really good cocktail, but you have to choose the best combination of vermouth and bitter liqueur.

One of the best cocktails using orange juice (I used Cara Cara). (2 Mar 2024, 9:04a) ... Just made this again using Punt e Mes - that might solve the sweetness issue some of you might be experiencing... This cocktail happens to share a name with one of my favorite Thin Lizzy songs. Had it on repeat while preparing this drink and heating up some Cincinnati chili... Sigh, leftovers. (17 Oct 2024, 6:05a)

I found this to be too sweet. I used 3 oz Bombay Sapphire, cut the OJ back to 1 oz and added a dash of Regan's orange bitters. This may now become a favorite.
