I don’t like crushed ice cocktail so i try to blend ingredients in a ice filled glass and the result is excellent. I used 5 cl. pinapple juice

I would imagine this is bland beyond bland over crushed ice. I made this up, and it was sweet enough to maybe warrant an ice cube or two. Up, I might tone the syrup down to 5 ml. Lemon, Libby's, and Luxardo is a lovely combo.
