Late to the conversation, but wanted to add a comment. I made this cocktail following the guidance and enjoyed the drink, but decided to experiment a bit, coming up with might be alternatives to consider. First, i replaced the Sauvignon Blanc with Génépy, reducing it by a 1/4 ounce. Next was lowering the simple by 1/4 ounce with the addition of 1/4 ounce of fresh lemon juice. Really loved the solid base cocktail that allowed my experimentation.

Really enjoyed this sweet cocktail. It might be making it more sweet, but I added a charred piece of pineapple as a garnish. That hit a special note for us. I made this with a homemade falernum that really found brought a wonderful taste. When making this, I leaned in with a hint more ginger and it was fantastic.
