Really enjoyed this. I made it using a suggestion from another site just to use a squeeze of lemon juice, and have no desire to order lemon bitters as a result.
Lovely and light, but still really tasty. When I really love a cocktail I'll go back for a second. I had three of these, and it didn't feel too many.
Waiting on a delivery of lemon bitters and pink grapefruit, I made a riff using orange juice and citric acid (to pull the citrus forward and closer to grapefruit) and lavender bitters (to align w/ the floral notes in gin and St. Germaine. Not bad!
I have been exploring grapefruit cocktails of late, and this one is a wonderful addition. I used Old Tom gin & orange bitters, and as a result, this made for, not only a low ABV cocktail, but also very subtle. I kinda missed the punch of a London Dry. Next time, I'll remain true to the recipe - with the exception of the bitters. Orange worked well here, and I don't have lemon.
