I was suckered in by the gorgeous photos but when you make a cocktail that is 75ml gin and a whopping 15ml of other ingredients, what you have is a strong gin martini with a splash of grenadine to make it pink and a splash of sweet vermouth to take the edge off. I might double the grenadine next time to make it a touch sweeter.

Had for our aperitif on Christmas Eve to commemorate the WWI Christmas ceasefire. Was pleasantly surprised. Looking at the recipe I was expecting it to be a bit sweet, but it was much drier. Great cocktail.
