  • Wonderfully unique. I used Cocchi Torino and Aperol instead of Campari but Campari is probably better and agree that it's on the sweet side. Replacing sugar with 3/4 Cointreau will probably improve it. I'll try that next time.
  • Seems plenty sweet as is, try leaving out simple next time
  • Has a not-unpleasant cotton candy flavor. I think it's good without simple syrup, and ΒΌ oz makes it plenty sweet. — ★★★★
  • A little sweet. Would reduce Cointreau to 1/2 oz
  • Juicier, sweeter version of a Negroni
