Review

As the name suggests, a more lime-forward flavoured Cosmopolitan while remaining balanced rather than overly sour.

I did this cocktail with Roku gin instead of lime flavoured vodka and for this doubled the amount of lime juice. The result was very tasty, especially this soft gin could shine through very nicely.
