Tomorrow we are off on holiday to celebrate Mr H's 60th birthday (Mull so expect lots of comments on Whiskey cocktails!).
Stumbled on this beauty whilst trying to use up the contents of our fridge! I added a shake of aquafaba for said reason....it was very good! 10/11

Excellent! I used 10 ml honey syrup (ratio 2:1). Lovely flavours. Fruity and fresh. Added the recipe to my favourites.

I have reformulated the recipe to suit my taste: 10ml of honey syrup (ratio 2:1), 60ml of grapefruit juice, a drop of saline solution and grapefruit bitter.

What would be the specs with honey 3:1 syrup? I imagine it takes a while to get the honey dissolved with vodka

I'd start with 10ml but you raise a good point - I need to remake this and reformulate recipe with honey syrup.

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
