Variant: Sub a flavored syrup in for the simple syrup--I used 1.5 oz Rose's strawberry syrup; change the amount based on personal taste.

Doesn't it supposed to have ketel 1 geneva?

I used Ketel One Vodka - not genever. You could use another brand of vodka.

Depending on how cheap of a vodka you use (why would you buy an expensive vodka? More taste of nothing?) this is suprisingly okay.
