Reducing the syrup to 2.5 ml and upping the gin to 50 ml yielded the most satisfying results for this discerning drinker.

Lovely complex flavours- recommended

Revisited this one and it turned out the grapefruit I squeezed for this was white. They're so hard to find any more and perhaps more acidic. Worked so well I added a heart to my previous four and a half star rating. The results were well balanced and the floral notes were purely elderflower. And my hands didn't smell like wet dog after squeezing the white grapefruit.
