Being pretentious I did it with japanese Gin. Don't go there. Since is not so flora, it was to dry. Nevertheless the arm fight between the chartreuse and the edelflower, at times taste green and then St Germain. But not at the same time -maybe I didn't move well the shaker? -nop) The salt round it. I'm going to do another with other Gin... wait

-see? I was right! is better with a floral one!

I enjoyed this however I did use the saline solution. I think that it is not needed, it seemed salty to me. I feel that it masked the chartreuse. Will try again without.
