I think some simple syrup is missing from this recipe.

If you replace the Campari with Contratto, you might not need simple syrup. It’s the substitution I just made (because that’s what I had at hand and being under quarantine, I didn’t see the need to go to the local liquor store). I don’t know if it’s still technically a Siesta, but it’s delicious.

Could I use Aperol instead of Campari?

BPS

I love it. Definitely for fans of bitter drinks like the Negroni. Will try with a real smoky mescal next.
