It’s good this. Didn’t have any grapefruit so used a spot of grapefruit syrup and it’s sweet and smokey and fruity.

This was excellent but seemed a bit watery. Will try again, pre-chilling all ingredients before combining and then adding ice.

Used oude genever in place of vodka to add /some/ flavour. A very very tasty tonic drink.

Used Campari and only had Del Miguey Minero mezcal which has less smoke than Vida. Delicious drink, tonic and grapefruit really make this drink shine.
