I've come back to this cocktail a few times now and have finally concluded that this is great, I mean really great. Its pretty light and refreshing but the complexity is there, making this a truly memorable drink. I love it.
Very strong tequila flavour but with sumptuous creamy mouthfeel. I would perhaps reduce the tequila a bit and find something to up the fruitiness, perhaps another fruit based liqueur perhaps? But that would be a different cocktail by then of coarse.
I would never have thought of putting creme de cacao with gin, but this cocktail has amazed me and friends who have tried it. Initially I tried it just with Monin creme de cacao syrup because that is all I had, and it was ok, a bit sweet perhaps, but then I got hold of some real creme de cacao liqueur and used that instead and it was great.
