If you like Aviations then this caraway-influenced sour may appeal. It's powerfully flavoured, so also consider serving over ice to allow dilution to tame the flavours.

After experimenting I liked this drink much better after swapping the proportions of the lemon juice and kummel, plus added 1/3 oz simple syrup. May depend on your brands of gin and kummel; I was using Tanqueray Gin and Doppelt Kummel Extra, and found the kummel overpowering before my modifications.
