Always a favorite when I want to taste lemon. Sugar rim is an added taste I like on occasion !

Tart and just sweet enough for what it is. Tasty!

replaced the vodka with rose gin & cut the simple syrup to 75%; added a sugar and hibiscus flower powder rim - was delicious!

I love this website - so clear and easy to use. Thank you Simon! Anyway, Very nicely balanced cocktail - although we did reduce the sugar syrup based on John Hinojos’ comment below - good call! This worked for us. A new favourite!

Thanks for your kind words. I have to thank Paloma, Harry, Matt, Alex and Dan as not possible without them.

Really enjoyed this. Lovely and fresh.
2nd time around I replaced the sugar syrup with Limoncello this added an extra sharpness

this was great. Had it with brunch today. Was concerned it would be a bit to sweet for us, so we use dry Curacao and 2/3s of the sugar syrup. Outstanding. Moving over to my favourites.
