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.
