Mercy, Mercy is its name: gin, aperol, Lillet blanc, and angostura bitters. The real key is that huge piece of orange zest, though, which fills you with the most sublimely sweet and round smell while you sip the drink, which is somewhat bitter.
(Aperol — because I didn’t know before asking the bartender the first time I had one of these (this was my second, lest you imagine my life more glamorous than it is) — is a lot like Campari, but less alcoholic. Lillet blanc is an aperitif wine, with some citrus to it.)

Thanks, I didn’t know what they were. The wine buff wife might have, but not me. I love citrus, so think that be a drink I’d enjoy.
