Exceptional - the color and bitterness (from the Campari) give the impression that it has a pink grapefruit base (although it isn't tart, and is actually a bit sweet). Vibrant pink color.

I believe the instruction to "strain" into a chilled glass is meant to be "pour" into a chilled glass. This is intended to be a frozen (slushy) cocktail - isn't it?

Thanks. Matt. I've corrected and updated the instructions.

An absolute winner when it’s mega hot. And always impresses visually.

Very nice on a hot afternoon. I would reduce the agave syrup, maybe to 1 cl.

Very nice drink. Masks the terrible Mixto Tequila very well, with orange, Campari and lime to the fore. I also added some extra agave syrup since I slightly overpoured the Campari.

Great on a warm evening. The Campari cuts through the ice with a pleasant bitter. Substantially better than your typical frozen margarita.
