I tried it again using 50ml of London Dry Gin and 20ml each of the Triple Sec (Cointreau) and Blue Curaçao (De Kuyper) and a lemon zest twist expressed over the drink and dropped into it and that is much more to my liking.
I suppose it is no longer a Blue Riband though.
Pleasant enough. Gin and citrus. No big surprises here.
