Very nice - a simple but delicious no-brainer! Anything that has aperol and grapefruit is a winner in my book. I used pink grapefruit, as the white is too sour in my book. Also used a grapefruit peel instead of orange twist because, why not? :)

A perfect cocktail for someone who loves a fruit foreword less dry red wine. I love finding sweet vermouth w/citrus cocktails because the combination of the two, equally tart bitter and sweet, is a unique flavor that is new to me. Another one similar to this is the Emerson cocktail which is 1.5oz gin 1oz sweet vermouth 1/3oz maraschino liqueur .5oz lime juice shaken, Up. I'll try the ratio of the Emerson from this site next time to compare and find out what I enjoy more.
