The lemon/lime split was an interesting idea and in this necessitated by running out of lemon. I did a 50/50 split of Strega and genepy, also Cocchi Americano. Felt like it needed some of the sweetness added back in so 2.5 ml triple sec. Some really interesting flavours coming out. I used to do an “instant icecream “ with orange, lemon and lime juice and rind and fresh cream. Reminds me of that.
Triple sec seems a promising addition addition. Must try. Favorite of mine: In a frozen glass. Old fahsioned or larger. Two small scoops Häagen-Dazs vanilla bean (or other authentic no emulsifer ice cream). Half fill two to one white grapefruit /Pom pomegranite juice, splash of lime. Top with tonic water. Careful it foams like a rootbeer float. Also any bitters you might be inclined to add. Plus vary the juices. Apple. Orange. Good with booze in it also.
