Sour grapefruit and sweet bergamot balance each other in this refreshingly light aperitivo.

I tried with 1 part Italicus to 1,5 part normal tonic from Fever-Tree. Excellent and refreshing drink with all notes from the Italicus present in a more descrete way. According to rosolioitalicus.com, an Italicus Cup is 1 part Italicus with 2 parts either tonic water or grapefruit soda.

Very light and refreshing but the grapefruit barely comes through. Perhaps I need to use different fruits.
