The grape, ginger, basil and lime flavours marry extremely well and are very refreshing and original. I reduced the sugar syrup by one third to make a less sweet version as I enjoy an edge of tartness. Increase all the base quantities proportionately and pour into a long glass with ice and lots of soda water - this makes for a superb and distinctive outdoor summer cooler!
