Simple and very good cocktail. I stayed to the original recipe and found it very balanced and refreshing. Maybe some drops of saline solution could be interesting or the use of elderflower syrup for a springtime version.

instead of 15 ml of grapefruit -lime juices, i use 30ml. That makes the drink not so strong :)
