Holy smokes. A simple cocktail, but I used a Cranberry/Cherry blend and it turned this into one heck of a sipper! Just a little bite with a hefty dose of sweet. Fantastic.

This was not as I expected. I added 15 ml Roses lime cordial and a splash of ginger beer and it was far more to my taste.

This was a very nice cocktail. Not outstanding, but good. I found it a bit flat and without some punch. Might try again using some orange bitters, rum, Jamaican rum, white overproof, or navy rum. Seems to be missing a flavour. Need to think on this one.

Agreed! I've reworked the recipe and added orange bitters. Now refreshing and balanced but still far from outstanding. Thanks, John.
