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!
