  • 11/02/18 - Per formula - good, should up Campari
  • Death and Co ratios: 1.5 gin/1/1 + 1dsh orange bitters
  • This is basically a Bijou with Campari instead of orange bitters.

Tried this as written. Good, but sweet.
Made a new one with the addition of 1/3 oz of lemon juice and used Punt e Mes instead of Martini Sweet Vermouth. I think I prefer my variation.

The Death & Co version lists a dash of orange bitters as well.
