Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.

quality versus quantity does not have to be a winner-take-all proposition.

Do you think you could substitute the cardamom bitters for Angostura or Walnut bitters ?

It might work. I'd go with a single dash of Angostura since they're punchier than most cardamom bitters, or stick with 2 dash walnut bitters (or 1 of each?).
Tried neat...did not like. Too intense, despite my love for nocino & cardamom. Threw in some ice, waited a moment, and holy bananas...this is my favorite drink. I somehow didn't get the grapefruit you did, replaced instead by a delicious nose of cardamom. The rest matched perfectly and...YAY! Submitting to Mixel.
Adding...somewhat unpleasant latent aftertaste of sugar. :(
I think my make of cardamom bitters is a bit more subtle than others. It did not take a strong role here as it did in yours. Cheers!
