Had to make two, the missus refused to return my glass after a sip.. A great Gin buck variation with very different flavours from the original.

Thank you Jamie- this works so well. Refreshing late arvo drink - earthy, herbal, sharp and not too sweet -and the Montenegro lingers with its Turkish Delight. It made my 20km bike ride a perfect reward today.

Wow! Imagine having a refreshing Coke with lime on a hot summer day, but with more complex notes.

Lovely! Chinotto for grownups springs to mind.
