Intense! The specific measures are there for a reason, as I suspected. This recipe would be great on the rocks, but 'up' (as I'd done) it's a tad too sweet. I did add a drop of saline in the half-size shake I made, which might account for some of its grand dynamics.

Excellent balance of flavors, lime grapefruit and elderflower and rather sour. Having made a double, got half way through and added 15ml tequila and some ice and I like this boozier version better. Will make it this way again.

Grapefruit is definitely the first one through the door and the most outgoing at the party. Has some earthy, somewhat nutty characteristics with a long lingering grapefruit finish. Very citrus forward. I will definitely make this again.

A lot will depend on the grapefruit. I have some from a neighbors tree, not pink but sweeter. Other variables are ingredient inventory…. Ratios = tequila 1.25. St g .5. Grapefruit 1.25 lime .25 syrup.5. Nice!

Oh my this was so good, I had to mix a second! Cheers!

Great cocktail. Loved the forward flavour of the grapefruit. Added a citrus tartness that you do not normally find in a margarita-style cocktail. Easy to drink.

Maybe it could be due to my grapefruit (seemed to be Ruby Red) and/or my palate, but it was too tart for my liking.

This is an awesome cocktail Very enjoyable and easy to drink. Its a cocktail that doesn't just taste like booze, very smooth for a tequila cocktail
