A gin-based riff on the Hemingway Daiquiri with delicate bittersweetness influencing the sweet 'n' sour balance. Light and refreshing – perfect for summer

Refreshing and no complaints, but I probably won't make again. I tried this because I adore the Ruby and a simple gimlet (with just great craft gin or vodka, key lime, and a little simple syrup). It wasn't as ideal as either of those two beautiful drinks, but it was still lovely. I didn't use syrup because I don't like things sweet, which delivered a great patio aperitif. I tried adding a tiny bit of elderflower liqueur in place of the syrup with the little left in the shaker, á la Ruby, which added only a hint of florality.

Oh wow this is good..and I say this in winter, when I usually don't like gin-based cocktails

Very interesting. Next time I'll put a little more lime and a little more sugar sirup (maybe 2/3 oz and 1/2 oz respectively?), as the grapefruit was maybe too present to my taste. Rated 4,5/5.

Wonderful summer drink!

Excellent cocktail! Rinse the glass beforehand with Green Chartreuse and it’s pretty much a Gypsy Eyes (also excellent).

a bit too drinkable...used Compari instead of Aperol...no sugar....and upped Gin to 2 oz for more spirit forward experience

Campari instead of Aperol - it is Old Acquaintance! )

Top notch, 5+. Extended the cane sugar syrup to 15 ml.

Perfect balance of ingredients. Will be drinking more of this one during summer!
