Pleasant enough, but not anything I would remake as such. I think having more blood orange juice than Campari is detrimental to the overall product, as some of the bitterness is lost, and the Gin gets further diluted. I might try a version with 1.5 Gin, 1 Campari, and 0.5 each of juice and Vermouth.

Slightly early in the season for the blood oranges I suspect, but still super refreshing and palate cleansing. Enjoyed the bitter and herbal/vermouth notes that come in after the fruit, and the amaretto is an inspired touch 😀. Slipped down very easily, as a good cocktail should.

This was good, but not great. I found the overall flavors to be rather muddled together.

tastes pleasant but i was after a bit more OOMPH.

Very nice cocktail. My blood oranges might have been on the "sweet" side so it was ever so slightly sweet. May try adding the orange bitters next time.

I make a version of this with San Pellegrino Aranciata Rossa
(Blood Orange) when Blood Oranges aren't available and, its my fave summer cocktail, including all my friends that have tried it.

Great. Another suggests a dash of orange bitters in place of the Disaronno. I will try that the next time.

Wow. We had a couple of blood oranges that we needed to eat. The cool search capability of this app (thanks Simon) turned up this cocktail. What a find. Backed off the gin a little to 1.25, Campari.5, vermouth.5 and OJ 1.25.

Highly enjoyable boozy aperitivo, a fun alternative to a negroni. As others have said the quality of the outcome is highly dependent on the quality of the oranges.
