Not bad, but feels like something lost in translation. For what it's worth, I didn't have any grapefruit so I used more lemon peel in the shaker, and instead of saline solution I put two pieces of kosher salt in there too. My syrup was freshly made from "Raw, Local SoCal" honey. My bourbon was a single-barrel cask-strength expression from a well-regarded distiller. The first sips were pretty average, but it got better as the night wore on. Maybe I should let it sit in the glass with the big ice cube for five minutes before serving.

Ok, I've got to try this again before rating it. As I swirl those last few sips with the remainder of the ice, this feels like a unique thing in the world of cocktails. Kind of a hybrid between Old-Fashioned and Sour. And I've got to get some grapefruit.
