Love this. I swapped the bitters for Grapfruit bitters for a little more citrus bite.

One of my favorite drinks right here, once and only once, it was my hair of the dog before work. I’ve tried it with Aperol too, without the simple syrup, and it’s also amazing

This is a great one! I added 2xdashes of grapefruit bitters and one less of Angostura. Fitch and leeds tonic. Really nice

This recipe seems very similar to a Spumoni with the addition of gin. I'd like to know if you have a Spumoni recipe?

You're right, it is not so removed from a Spumoni. We don't have a Spumoni on the site yet but I'll add ASAP. Many thanks for bringing this omission to my attention.

Did this recipe change in the last couple of months? I seem to remember it having more tonic water, which I think it needs, I ended up putting 75ml instead and it's much more refreshing.

Yes, the recipe changed May/June 2020 and used to say "Top with Tonic water" rather than have a stipulated volume. When I reduced the sugar to 10ml (see below) I took the opportunity to add a measured amount of tonic as this helps with the accuracy of our calorie calculation. The previous "top with" recipe very much depends on how much ice you put in the glass and how big your glass is. Perhaps a case for reducing the volume of other ingredients?

It's very tasty but too sweet. I reduced sugar to 1 cl and used Dry tonic and it still was too sweet. If you're using a regular sweet Tonic, I would recommend to use no additional sugar at all.

I agree original spec was a tad on the sweet so like you I've gone with 10ml sugar (2:1) but with standard quality tonic water (Eager). The glass size and amount of tonic also plays an influence and with a 12oz Collins glass I used 50ml tonic so I have added this detail to the recipe above.

I tried it with no sugar, and it was very refreshing, though I used organic grapefruit, which I’ve found to be much less tart than normal grapefruit, so the level of sweetness may have evened out.
