Using Planteray 3 stars, homemade grenadine, 1.5 simple (cut back to about equal proportions of the grenadine) and this is absolutely fantastic.

On the surface it tastes quite a bit like a classic daquiri, but then the bitterness of the lemon sneaks in and mingles with the Grand Marnier and gives an almost grapefruit quality to the profile. One of the best drinks I've tried on Difford's.

I noticed others saying it was too sweet--I did heed the advice and cut back the simple a smidge, but it could have had the full 1/4oz (semi-rich syrup) and been fine. The proportions are pretty much perfect with a homemade grenadine and 1.5 simple.

Thanks so much for the recipe!

Rather too sweet with Monin Grenadine syrup

Use Monin pomegranate syrup instead. It's so less sweeter and so much better, with more acidity.

This was great with my Cor Cor Agricole rum from Minamidaito, Okinawa.

Spot on review, though the orange was far more predominant than lime and lemon. Nice, crushable drink.

Very drinkable and it can easily stand an extra 10ml of rum!

Since I prefer my drinks on the tart side, I tried this both ways - omitting the sugar syrup and omitting the Grenadine. I liked the Grenadine only version.

A very easy drinking cocktail. Great balance and very citrus forward.

Very impressive rum cocktail. Very nice sweet and sour taste with a similar flavour to a rum based margarita. Very pleasant.

Very nice sour with a slight sweet finish. Will make again

Very tasty! As usual, I had to cut the Giffard Grenadine syrup quantum by half, so, 2,5 ml. I can’t really understand the widespread faiblesse for that particular candy/caramel taste that so easily takes over the whole cocktail experience.
