Sorry to be negative but, really, a gin and juice named Honolulu? Snoop Dogg might have enjoyed it though.

A crowd pleaser for sure. The gin plays well with the different juices without any of the ingredients overpowering the other. It's a tad sweet for me so I'd probably reduce the simple by half for next time. It could also be fun to replace some of the simple with a liqueur. Overall I'm pleased!

Just plain easy drinkin'. Summery and light, very likable. Not very challenging, but sometimes you just need that. :)

Caitlin Eisner Premium Member 41w

Very nice, but it was slightly improved by replacing the simple syrup with an even mix of falernum and passion fruit syrup.

Maybe a good option for the "summer" category here on DG?

Simon Difford Verified User Premium Member 1y

Thanks, Peter. I've added to our summer collection.

Very good as it is. If one likes something special, I could imagine a spice like muscat or cardamom.

45/15/15/15 ml for me, forget simple syrup, ORGEAT for a way richer cocktail.

Huh, who knew gin and fruit juice could taste so good ! Excellent, complex, subtle. Your choice of gin is like a draw of the cards...check it out. Oh, and by the way I went straight to the double and glad I did 'cause it was gone before I knew it and that's not a gambling metaphor.

Quite a good drink this. Like others say it has a candy-like lightness to it and the gin, Tanqueray 43% (old school) really comes out. Probably worth trying again with another gin to see how the flavours of that gin are brought forward. The saline also helps bring some flavours out.

I quite like it. Tastes like lemon, fruit candy, but not overly sweet.

I feel the same way too. It's the gin's botanicals which makes it like that for me.
