Made without the soda and served on a big rock. This was very good. The tequila and Montenegro really complement each other here, both coming through nicely, with the grapefruit adding a welcome bitter backbone. Dangerously drinkable.

Pleasant balance of flavours and easy drinking, bitter from the amaro was a nice twist. Wouldn't bother with the soda though, I felt it was too diluted, ginger beer might be nice though.

Perfectly balanced cocktail for when you want something with tequila that's a little lighter on the alcohol, highly recommend this one if you haven't tried it.

OK I doubled this one up to empty my Reposado and Amaro and used Ginger Beer to top up. Served up in a ice filled glass this is really very good. A mix of bitter, sour and sweet and the ginger fizz binding.
Surprisingly smooth and added to my ever growing list of must try again.
