Like the Canarie, I tried this twice. First time using Alton Brown's spearmint syrup recipe. Second time with 10 ml rich simple to one drop of peppermint essential oil. Math wiz drinkers will notice I tested this recipe at 2/3 measure. The spearmint syrup is more earthy in its expression. The oil syrup is like toothpaste. The grenadine is a bit lost, but tingling in the background. I did like the flavor pairings in this drink, but I prefer the ratio and lemon tinge in the Canarie. Curious how you'd compare the two drinks...
