I mean, I've tried it with 3 different gins so far, all turned out great, deserves a +.5

An extremely refreshing drink. Very easy to drink. A more "gingery" riff of a Tom Collins. This one will be dangerous in the summer time (in a good way).

I added two dashes of Angostura bitters, man what a great drink with and without the bitters

I used 1:1 sugar syrup to cut down a bit on the sweetness. Quite refreshing!
