Absolutely delicious, but those quantities make a fairly big drink for something meant to be served up - it’s like a normal 5:1 martini but with an extra two parts. I might suggest this is two drinks, or otherwise use the same proportions but scaled down? Or of course you can also drink the whole thing as written, but either it has to be drunk too fast for wisdom or it will be unpleasantly warm by the time you’re done!
