A good call by Colin Larson to add orange bitters as, for me, they took the overly (for me) sweet edge off this quaffable drink. I also added about 5 ml lemon juice to further counteract the sweetness. Although we are in mid-winter, this is a lovely, summery long "cooler" kind of drink - a season to imagine being in and to look forward to, if the world survives till then!

Maybe it's just me, but I prefer these fruit cup drinks with just ginger ale, forget the cola. I used the name of this as an excuse to use up some of my Boomsma jonge genever, for which I've found few applications. The slightly simpler ingredient list seems to allow each thing to shine more. I like it.

Refreshing, flavors are quite complex but it is still very easy to drink. I tried it with a home-made shrub orange and it was really good. If you like vermouth, you should try this recipe. Great for hot summer days!

This is good even without the garnishes! Tastes like an adult orange soda. I threw a little orange bitters in there as well.
