Made this with strawberry gin and agave syrup (replace the rich syrup 1:1) as that's what was on hand. I enjoyed it 4/5, she called it her "favorite cocktail ever" 5+/5.

Top with Q or FeverTree grapefruit soda vs. soda water and fall into grapefruit heaven. I add a wee bit, ok, more than a wee bit of gf juice for the extra deliciousness. The lime is needed. Be wary, this goes down waayyyy to easy!
