Has potential but too sweet for me as prescribed.

A lower ABV stirred cocktail that hits all the notes I enjoy.

This will not be one of my favourites. It is ok, but maraschino it is way too dominant IMHO.

At first I thought it was a tad too sweet, but it resolved to a very nice balance. I had no daiquiri bitters, but seeing that they are made partly of pineapple juice, I added a few drops of Electric Pineapple. Worked great. But I'll have to get some real daiquiri bitters to compare.

Fascinating little drink, this one. All the ingredients have so much to contribute. And do so like a fine ballet! ♡♡♡♡♡

Decided to have a go at this tonight but no Daiquiri Bitters, sorry Simon - I need to pop up and get some but for whatever reason the Peychaud's kept looking up at me and I'll be, two dashes later - it married up pretty damn well with the Chartreuse.

I also did not have the bitters (I swear every cocktail I look at calls for Difford’s daiquiri bitters!) but absolutely do not let that stop you. Fantastic cocktail.

Didn't have the bitters so used 50/50 London dry gin and Skin gin (moroccan mint). Lovely. Herbaly and well balanced for mine and SO's palate.

Delicious, rich, layered, semisweet. Tried with a tiny amount of lemon juice, which was no improvement.
Drink it as it is, bit sweet, what's not to like.

This is a power house of flavours. I used MARTINI & ROSSI Riserva Speciale Ambrato. A real sipper and rather more of a digestif for my taste. I can recommend the Crown Gin as it needs the extra strength to bring the gin forward.
