We kept the Elderflower as specified, added 10ml Giffard Ginger of the Indies and split the juice 15ml grapefruit and 10ml lime. We would have liked to incorporate pineapple juice, perhaps just 2.5ml, but had none to hand...maybe next time. We floated a dehydrated lime wheel as the garnish.

Added 5ml of Ancho Reyes to straight bourbon try and get the same effect as the chilli bourbon. Seemed to do the trick, definitely got some heat from the drink but in no way overpowering. Could still taste all of the individual elements.
