I thought a gin with a similar taste profile (parson cosy) would make this drink bland and boring, but it turned out great..can't wait to see what it's supposed to taste like originally :D

It's a very nice drink for May-into-June, as the seasons change, but if it's got the word "apple" in the name, well, it needs to taste more apple-forward.

I have added a few dashes of chocolate bitters and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the built cocktail.
Very good, and I can see how it strongly depends on the flavor of the apple juice and honey.
I have used a refreshing scandinavian style micro-distillery gin, a naturally sweet, acidic juice, and a rich tasting craft honey, and that spoke in the drink (in a very good way).

Very delicious. Interestingly, the honey amplifies the apple flavour while the gin is more of a background player (I used Beefeater). Overall it's a perfectly balanced drink. Highly recommended.

I was going to say this was a lame drink until I got a hold of the aftertaste, and it's actually a bit funky?... Comes across with an herbal, green (caramel) apple quality; tart, medicinal... the honey is at an excellent measure, not really lingering long beyond the initial expressions... Curious now to try this with a better gin (my test standard is Gordon's). (14 Oct 2023, 6:16a)

Reminded me a little of an English Garden.

Utterly delicious. One of the best cocktails ever found on this site! Delicious juniper interacts with honeyed apple (incredible combination), balanced by sour lime. Just delightful.

A nicely apple-y gin sour. Not too strong, not too complex - but it's nice.

I added an egg white and that was nice too.

Simple and good. I served it straight up and went back to 6 cl Gin.

Made with slightly less gin, a little more apple juice and straight honey and I loved it! The gin works perfectly with the sweetness of the honey and the apple juice while the lime brings out the citrus notes. Lovely for a fall evening.
