Review

Lightly spicy with an attractive underlying bready fruitiness from the fresh strawberry and genever.

Unexpected complex pleasure.

Very well balanced. Slight hint of the strawberry in the second half of the sip. Not overly loaded with the cinnamon or ginger so the other flavours are allowed to shine. Overall a very pleasant cocktail.

Meanwhile I watched the youtube video with the original recipe and tried a combination of both recipes. I used sliced ginger for the extra kick, the original 1 oz lemon juice, omitted the sugar syrup and lifted the rest of syrups (minus strawberry syrup) to the original amounts. That worked much better than my first try.
