Had just made a great Daiquiri but this was even better! The Angostura and vermouth made it far more interesting. (Even without grenadine on hand and using 1/2 oz of syrup.)

Made it in the least authentic way, with Havana Club 3 Year Old. Still a truly stellar cocktail, with beautiful fruity notes and sweetness, with botanical backbone balancing those aspects.

It is interesting with the odd Vermouth and lime combo and how well works, tied together with the rest of the ingredients. As it is so delicious, but still might be on the sweet side, it is well be worth some more experimenting.

Outstanding. Used our homemade grenadine and less sugar syrup. Used a Barbados rum. Burst of flavours. Right amount of sweetness. Overall a cocktail I will have over and over.

This is indeed super. Very flavoursome, I used 1/2 oz homemade grenadine and omitted the simple and went heavy on bitters. Slight Coca cola vibes? Lime zest is essential.

First let me say that is is a wildly under appreciated drink that absolutely should be on you mid to high rotation list. That being said, if you don't hum the theme tune to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles whilst you're making this drink, then you and I can't be friends.

One of my favorite cocktails of all time. I do prefer the syrup dialed back a bit or it can get too sweet.

I tried a version with only one dash Angostura and another with the original five dashes. In my opinion the original is much better and the Angostura absolutely not overpowering!
