I was working for the company when these drinks (The House Tonics) launched.

It was definitely 25ml of lime and enough sugar to balance.
Oh, and of course we used Bombay Sapphire.

I think it needs to be something between the two, like yours.

Hi Sue, thanks for your kind words and good humour.

The drink was certainly named for Ryan Gosling and inspired by the scene above. It’s also a fun play on words, with Canadian Whiskey being referred to erroneously as “Rye” throughout much of the twentieth century.
The Maple Syrup “just makes sense”, given the theme.

We sold thousands of Ryans. It was incredibly popular. If you’ve got the ingredients, or a better Canadian Whiskey, please give it a go and let us know what you think.

My Spec is slightly tweaked:

45ml 50% Vodka
40ml Pineapple
15ml Lime
15ml Aperol
15ml Passionfruit Syrup (Teisseire)
2 Dashes Peychaud's Bitters

Yes, the Pineapple is a litter richer, but the higher Vodka helps cut through that and clean it up. I like this Teisseire syrup a lot. It has the most passionfruit juice in it..

Speed and consistency are more important than romantic ideals.
