Like this! Strong flavour of Aperol, not as bitter as other Negronis (which I also enjoy). What I like is that it ‘packs a punch’ flavour-wise without being too high in alcohol.

Thanks for the tip with the lime - tried without and although I quite liked it, definitely on the sweet side. Lovely with the lime added. :o)

I agree! Based on your review I tried it before adding bubbly (prosecco in my case) and really liked it. Did add a little extra sugar solution, but that’s just my sweet palate. Lovely with the fizz added too. Will definitely make again.

I made the gin variation with Greenalls London gin and Noilly Prat vermouth. As a fan of gin martinis this had a certain very welcome ‘je ne sais quoi’ with the addition of Benedictine. Very nice. Can see this becoming a regular choice.
