  • Used Bitter Luxardo in place of the Aperol. Worth trying Campari. . .needs a reduction in the underlying heavy sweetness.
  • Previous comments nailed it!
  • Great balance of flavor, but too sweet for my taste. Feels like a good start, dial back the GM and/or add some Lemon Juice
  • Campari instead of Aperol

Very enjoyable. I like the Campari and rye combo. Using Campari instead of Aperol helped reduce sweetness. Thanks for posting-this one's a keeper
