Really liking my first bottle of Bob's Grapefruit Bitters here. That and the Génépy add a lot of extra dimension to this excellent minty rum sour.

This is great, however i feel is a step down from "Daisy de Santiago" which is what came to mind when i tasted it.

Next experience: today I tried Havana 3yo instead of Bacardi. It works, but changes the taste and one has to up Chartreuse and reduce Agave syrup. Grapefruit twist is fine, especially if you rub the edge of the glass after twisting. The bitters I would still reduce to half.

Redoing this cocktail, I tried to be cautious with the bitters and change the grapefruit twist for a lime twist. Maybe a good solution for sweeter tooth.
