Trying to find a lemon juice heavy cocktail and came across this. I switched to all lemon juice and omitted the egg white and grapefruit bitters. It’s quite sour with the same ratio used as per this recipe, some experimenting might find a better overall balance.

The salt detracts in this cocktail, sorry, still prefer a classic negroni

I didn’t know lavender was used in the distillation step, I re tasted this neat and diluted with water and, it maybe psychological, but I now taste the subtle lavender. I don’t get lime, I get more of a grapefruit citrus. Indeed I use grapefruit as a garnish in my GnT. This is my favourite gin, but the price means I use it on only selected occasions !

45ml each of gin and pink port with 30ml of lime juice has a better balance.
