Fruity, long and refreshing. Gin notes are surprisingly subdued.

Lovely flavours and very refreshing, albeit a bit timid. We split the Gin between a London Dry and a Navy strength.

I found the cocktail tart and dry, but a little thin, very much relying on the garnish for flavor. I added 2 dashes of cherry bitters and 1 dash of plum bitters to amplify the berry notes, which I thought helped fill out the drink.
