christina in tacoma commented on 10/14/2012:

I tried this without the simple (sweetness without flavor just isn't that appealing) and it was a little flat. I added a bar spoon each of Benedictine and Luxardo maraschino liqueur, and liked it a lot more. I used Dandelion and Burdock bitters instead of Peychaud's and orange, and garnished with an orange twist instead of lemon or a cherry.

rodmitch commented on 12/18/2013:

This is like a Black Feather with simple syrup and orange bitters replacing the triple sec. Seems to me like SS and OB might be an acceptable replacement for triple sec any time.

  • Accidentally doubled the Aperol - and it was delicious! — ★★★★★
  • Added 1 dash of Peychalds bitters and an extra 1/4 ounce of lemon juice as requested by the other reviewers to cut through the sweetness.
  • This is going into the rotation. It's delightful as a long double.
  • Not bad. Accidentally did a double portion of Aperol and it was quite good. Definitely would do it again.
  • Used Bombay Blue Sapphire. Easy drinking refreshing cocktail. Almost could use a bit more lemon possibly to brighten it even more.
  • Used lime instead of lemon due to a lack of supplies. It was great.

  • 3.5 if I could. It's a good cocktail. Chartreuse + lime take over, unsurprisingly.
  • good! I think better if dial back the elderflower....add absinthe rinse
  • Bitters help, but don't need heat.
