I agree with other commenters that it could do with less honey. After a couple sips I added another equivalent of grapefruit juice and I like that balance better, but still not amazing. Also probably doesn’t help that my mixing Scotch is Cutty Sark, which has all the assertiveness of a wet newspaper. I’ll withhold judgement until I try it with a more flavorful Scotch.

This recipe is inherently flawed. Lack of balance due to lack of acidity. White grapefruit might make the recipe work, if the specs are finely tuned. (8 Nov 2023, 11:18a)

Too much honey for me, not enough grapefruit or whisky. A good concept though.

Little too sweet, would adjust the ratio of grapefruit and honey next time.

I halved the honey syrup and it was fairly balanced and tasted okay, but not outstanding.
