Curated this slightly. Rewrote instructions to avoid copyright. Clarified date and added source citation.

Used grapefruit bitters instead of the Boston and a lemon peel instead of lime. It's great - kind of reminds me of a limoncello or a 20th Century - but you really really really need that peel to cut through the sweetness and maraschino.
