The sophisticated drinker's answer to a gin and juice with dry gin and orange liqueur made all the more fruity with orange juice, lemon juice and pomegranate...
Used a local pomegranate liqueur 5ml, no sugar, otherwise to spec. Perfect sweet-sour balance with fresh citrus initially dominant, then added warmth and depth from the Grand Marnier. Very enjoyable and slipped down very easily!
Really nice drink, and the sugar rim is interesting, in that it oscillates the drink's balance. No sugar rim results in a balanced drink on the sour side, but the rim makes it balanced on the sweet side. Everything combines well, and I personally find that all components come through just a bit more with the sugar rim.
This is outstanding. You get the wonderful tastes of the juices, the herbal of the gin, and the hint of cognac from the Grand Marnier. Left out the sugar syrup as our oranges were very sweet, but test your orange juice sweetness before you would do this.
