Review:

Originally named "Lychee & Blackcurrant Martini", this is a cocktail of its time - perhaps now best forgotten. Gin-forward with fruity notes of lychee and blackcurrant.

When you say 3/4 scoop of water what is that in ounces or ml please?

This should have said 3/4oz / 22.5ml of chilled water. I have now corrected and reduced to 1/3oz / 10ml. However, if you are using cubes of ice directly from the freezer then perhaps add at least 1/2oz / 15ml of water. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
