A vastly more boring daiquiri (somehow) and a boring margarita.

Mine needed the added rich syrup and it was delightful.

I also left out the sugar but kept the same proportion of lime.

I left out the sugar syrup and replaced that volume with the maraschino. Pretty good cocktail from that. I feel inclined to increase the lime, but not by much.

Great cocktail. Followed Bethany Staelens advice and left out the sugar syrup and increased the lime and maraschino. It was wonderfully tart and very enjoyable.

I loved this! I actually added more lime and more maraschino and eliminated the sugar syrup. I don't like sweet cocktails, and this made it perfect for me.

Quite sharp in these proportions if you want something a little smoother drop the lime to 20ml

I've revisited the original recipe (now above) and added an optional splash of sugar. Thanks for bringing the need to readdress to my attention.
