What a fantastic drink! Every single ingredient comes through to a refreshing combination of sourness, fruitiness and sweetness.

Simon, great job on the website. Just a note: it might be worth adding a 'Don't want to try' option in the drop down that stops this cocktail from showing up again in future in our 'You can make' sections. Right now our only option is to flag it as 'Tried and didn't like', and I'm not even 100% sure if that filters them out of the rotation for random recommendations.
