Was surprised at how balanced, thought the Campari would be more pronounced. I did a hard shake with a gardenia petal in the tin and garnished with a fresh petal. Added a very nice floral nose to the cocktail. Gardenia petals are edible in low quantities. Very nice indeed! Nice mouth feel too!

Fruity and lightly tangy, with just the right amount of underlying sugar, herbs and bitterness to give it depth. Balance worked well for me, Campari was a lightly fruity undertone rather than dominating as it sometimes does. Very sippable.

I love bitter, but I felt the red bitter liqueur (Luxardo in my case, which I believe is less bitter than Campari) absolutely dominated the drink. Couldn’t even detect the St Germain, and the Bulldog gin I was using didn’t stand a chance (is there a Pitbull gin?).

Perfectly balanced for me at the current proportions. The bitterness of the grapefruit and Campari balance out the sweeter ingredients.

Gilbey's ... it's kinda too much grapefruit honestly. not a bad jazz-up for a gin and juice but personally i kinda dont find it to have that legendary balance. kinda tastes like too much elder, ya know. not bad though. nice and dry

The first few sips...wow, this is bringing meaning to the idea of a drink being dry. But...it definitely improved. Greatly so.

Oh My God My New Best Friend !... Nicely balanced. Each sip invited or practically demanded the next to try to identify the flavor sequence. Beefeater, Combier Liqueur de Sueau, Campari, Ocean Spray White Grapefruit Juice, pink grapefruit zest, perfect.

Gordon's | Super Grapefruit | tangy, acidic. need to adjust super grapefruit ratios.
