I have seen and done this cocktail with different ingredients and amounts. So far, this has been my favorite version. A lot better balance; but I will admit, it is pushing my sweetness level envelope. Very refreshing. I will try it with Campari vs Aperol next time.

I loved this! Made with St. George Botanivore. For me, this had a perfect balanced bite of sour-bitter with the grapefruit + Aperol + lime. If your grapefruit is sweet, though, Campari might compensate nicely. I wanted to taste a little more of the gin, so I added another 15ml. Delicious!

Refreshing and no complaints, but I probably won't make again. I tried this because I adore the Ruby and a simple gimlet (with just great craft gin or vodka, key lime, and a little simple syrup). It wasn't as ideal as either of those two beautiful drinks, but it was still lovely. I didn't use syrup because I don't like things sweet, which delivered a great patio aperitif. I tried adding a tiny bit of elderflower liqueur in place of the syrup with the little left in the shaker, á la Ruby, which added only a hint of florality.

Oh wow this is good..and I say this in winter, when I usually don't like gin-based cocktails

Very interesting. Next time I'll put a little more lime and a little more sugar sirup (maybe 2/3 oz and 1/2 oz respectively?), as the grapefruit was maybe too present to my taste. Rated 4,5/5.
