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

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.
