If you are a fan of Sloe gin, then this cocktail is for you. The Sloe gin is very upfront and then the grapefruit comes in at the end. For my palate, it is borderline on the sweet side, since Sloe gin and the Cherry Heering both tend to be sweet, I re-made it without the rich syrup and it was more balanced and enjoyable for my taste.
