I really enjoyed this one. The vermouth and mint go together extremely well –far better than one might think at first glance – and gin obviously goes well with both of them. The OJ and grenadine are both kind of lost but I think they're mainly just balancing the main three ingredients.

The only reason this gets a 4 rather than 4.5 is because the flavours just die three seconds after the sip.

Loved, loved, loved this. All the ingredients work perfectly together. Very herbal. Key in this one is to use good grenadine (made with real pomegranate juice) and a great gin. We used a local gin which is very herbal in flavour.
Was expecting the cocktail to be much sweeter. It was perfect. A hint of sweetness.

This does not work it looks nothing like the picture, the drink is much redder in colour and is not subtle in anyway, I think the recipe needs checking and also is this the correct picture!

The cocktail in the photo was made with homemade 2:1 pomegranate syrup rather than commercial grenadine (so less colour) and was shaken rather than stirred (so more chlorophyll from the mint). I now prefer to stir. I've added original recipes from Craddock and Embury for reference.
