I made a bunch of these 2 or so years ago for my wife and her friends and they loved it. I stuck with Bourbon at 1.25 and didnt split the base. I tried the specs here and it was just as good.
However something was off this time and my guess is my bottle of Pamplemousse Liquor (Giffards) is past its prime as the bottle is over 2 years old easily, and more.

My question is how long does Pamplemousee liquor last?

This was considerably sweeter than I was expecting (or really like). Adding .5oz fresh lemon juice--essentially turning it into a Paper Plane with Pamplemousse--made it quite lovely, though, for me. (The beauty of cocktails, right? One can adapt it to one's own palate, always...)

Great as an aperitif. I found it a little sweeter than I was expecting. Would have put the sweetness as a 6. Did add a dash of grapefruit bitters and that did balance the sweetness.

Terrific. I made it with Epoch high-rye bourbon from Baltimore Spirits Company, Peychaud’s Bitter Liqueur, and Giffard’s Pampelmousse. Quite satisfactory.

Prefer to do equal parts rye and bourbon. Nonetheless a refreshing weekend afternoon sipper!
