Negroni Crusta
Shake with ice, strain into a narrow cocktail glass (sub narrow wine glass or small flute) rimmed with sugar, and garnish with a long wide lemon or orange twist (lemon twist) wrapped around the interior of the glass' rim.
The citrus and liqueurs (especially the Maraschino) work to make this a bit more gentle for a Negroni-based drink.
For Negroni Week 2018, I was inspired by the 1852 Crusta and I adapted the Negroni to this dandy of a presentation.

I'm drinking one of these right now and unsurprisingly, it's great. There's obviously some lovely aromatics, but there's just enough lemon to make this drift toward the pink grapefruit accord of the Jasmine. For my taste, I would up the lemon to 1/2 and omit the Maraschino, but I love Campari + lemon. Thanks Fred! Zachary
