Sticking to the prescribed ingredients, I found this recipe way too sweet. I proceeded to repeatedly cleave down the measures until I was satisfied. And I did this too many times, but it could be blamed on the Cocchi di Torino and Luxardo Triplum. I settled on a 5:2:1 with those. I tried Georgann's mistake afterward (with Noilly Prat dry) and it was a vastly different swill. Still some work to be done. I'm guessing French brands of the latter two ingredients will be more pleasing. You tell me.

Not a radical recipe, but a very nice cocktail. Gin and vermouth are obvious, and the Cointreau gives a nice orange twist on the flavor. Obviously sweeter than a Negroni, but if you like Negroni and it's variants I think you'll also like this.

Had it again, as it was a delightful as we remembered. Happy Vernal Equinox 2024.

Just knocked up one of these and it is first class. I’m not usually a fan of orange flavours, but here the balance is exquisite.

Very much enjoyed this as an after-dinner Martini, constrasting with my usual dry Martini aperitif. I didn’t find it overly sweet, as others have, but then I do have a sweet tooth.

Loved the subtle citrus hints and background herby flavours.

Accidentally grabbed dry vermouth rather than sweet, but ended up with a very pleasant aperitif that might appeal to those finding the original too sweet.

Thanks for the tip. I do find it a bit sweet, so will use the dry vermouth next time.

tastes like boozy and bitter candied orange peels. like others noted, might be better with more gin or dry curacao

I found it a bit on the sweet end (As one would expect for the ingredients). I would Adjust the ratio to be more gin-forward.
