The orange zest twist makes or breaks this classic, which when properly balanced lets the gin shine supported by herbal vermouth and delicate sweet pomegranate...

Man, did I think this was a pointless cocktail, clearly because of the grenadine measure. But if you make this with Jeffrey Morgenthaler's grenadine recipe (just made a fresh batch), not too shabby. (21 Dec 2023, 1:02a)

This is great. Allows all the herbal flavours of the gin to shine with the grenadine adding a little fruit sweetness. We made our own grenadine so it is not as sweet as many commercial brands.

Nice variation on a martini. The grenadine smooths out the cocktail. Gin forward - make sure you use a high quality gin.

I think probably my zest wasn't very zesty/oily. I did think the grenadine overpowered even with 2 zests, so added a slice, which helped a bit. I wonder about trying next time with less grenadine... would that work?
