To my taste, when using cheap spirits, this works better than a gin and tonic.

Good drink sticking to the recipe, but I also muddled some pomegranate seeds because I had them as an experiment. Nice addition as well...

Loved this. It does not have a much of a bitter hint at the end of sip. Will admit that we ran out of Reposado tequila so we did 1 oz Reposado and 1/2 Anejo. It was wonderful. Nice flavour of the tequila and the coolness of the lime.

This is a great drink, better than a G&T for me. I prefer the Fever Tree Light when I make it. Best just given to people because if you describe it, they'll turn their nose up.

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
