I didn't really like this one, it was very alcoholic and I even used a milder gin here (beefeater). I could imagine it being softened with sweet/sour somehow.

Was this boozy vibe intentional here?

Unfortunately messed up the measurements of the syrup (1:1 instead of 2:1) and just had some spice before the botanicals. Should measure the syrup more next time.
