The flavor is surprisingly floral -- the drink makes great use of the fact that Orchard Apricot is more aromatic than fruity. I used Plymouth gin and it came out very balanced, but I've never tried Bellringer. Googling Rhubarb bitters is what brought me to this recipe, and it's the best use I've seen so far -- actually, I upped the rhubarb to three dashes and slightly reduced the campari to compensate. One silly complaint: I think it's charismatic and special enough to deserve a more distinctive name. I love this and it’s something I’ll definitely make again.
