Really interesting drink with a lot of layers of flavour. Sweet and sour, a great cocktail.

I enjoy this cocktail very much. It's an unusual combination of flavors which come together unexpectedly. And I'll make it unanimous regarding the lime: I'll definitely bring that down next time.

Thank you my original recipe had less lime 🙏

Fine little drink - no pretending. I do agree, a little less lime is more to this drink. I used 30, 30, 20, and only 10 ml lime.

Drinking this now, having just made it for the first time (exactly as per the recipe). It is hot and humid right now and this was a very pleasant drink. It's tart. It did seem quite short (i.e. I'd have liked more of it, which is always a good if somewhat dangerous sign). I'll knock the lime back a bit next time though (or perhaps scale up the other ingredients) as it does dominate the flavour.
