Very good. I used Old Raj Blue to kick up the abv to make up for the lack of vermouth, and Santoni Bitter, which is sweet at first, with the bitterness coming through on the finish. Good combo with the orange.
Fortunately I live in an area where blood oranges are easy to get as all types of citrus is grown locally. This was outstanding. The blood orange juice adds a hint of sweetness and citrus which softens the flavour of the finished cocktail.
