  • A bit sour for me. I upped the Cappelletti to 1 oz. which helped a bit.
  • 1.5 oz rum, 1 oz Capelletti. Bright, funky, and delicious. — ★★★★★
  • Made with R&W Orchard Apricot. Apricot dominates and lime not far behind; rum and amaro surprisingly subdued but lending complexity. A fave use of apricot liqueur. — ★★★★

Comments

didn't have the apricot liqueur so I subbed in a local apple brandy and shook in a couple of dashes of peach bitters...turned out quite lovely

Use 1/2 Campari and 1/2 Aperol for the Aperitivo. Very good. I would reduce the lime to 1/2 and omit the simple.
