Complex and fruity at the same time. The grapefruit works well with Amaro Sibilla's profile and the Carpano broadens the character. The original recipe volume is 4.75 oz before mixing dilution, and the total alcohol content is rather high at ~1.34 oz, so I modded slightly: 1.5 oz gin, 1 Carpano Antica, 3/4 Sibilla, 1/2 Pamplemousse, 1/4 lemon juice.
