Used Monin rose syrup and juice from 1 lime, about 15 mls. The rose comes through gently. This is a summer afternoon/early evening drink. Enjoyed it very much.
Lovely and bitter. I added 60 ml champagne to dilute a little more. Makes you feel like a real grown-up.
Strega forward. I loved this drink, but did not add any ice after shaking and staring as dilute enough already with the grapefruit juice. Lovely late afternoon / early evening drink before the grown up drinks.
Straining rather than staring.

The calvados I used was Pere Magliore Memoire, bought at a distillery in Normandy. I suspect it may have added sugar.
This is wonderful, made me think of France. I have spent the day gardening among the blossom and so this felt appropriate. I added a few more drops of bitters to sharpen it up.
Chartreuse. Dominates. Will try it with less next time. Nice and smooth, slipping down a treat at the moment!
Lovely mix of sweet and sour. Might try it again with lemon.
