If you don’t like gin, drink a different drink!
I plan to pour it out into my mouth, not throw it out. I won't waste that good stuff.
I think you’d be well served omitting the gin and adding an ounce or two of soda water and serving over ice in a highball - a negroni is gin-Campari-sweet vermouth whereas an americano is Campari-sweet vermouth-soda water - a nice summer substitute
This is a delicious, strong, multi layered cocktail—my friends and I adore this drink. Totally worth the effort.
Wow! This was delicious! The botanicals from the gin are so appealing. The sweetness of the apricot liqueur adds the final flourish. I will drink this again and again.
I served these at a party as written. Most felt it was too sweet. I then added lemon juice and sparkling water. Much better for those adverse to sweet cocktails.
