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.

Had some left over Limoncello from a summer dinner party, when we were allowed to mix indoors with 6 ! Had the ingredients for this so thought why not give it a go. Lemoney, nice, but a tad on the sweet side for me. Would be good on a bar cocktail menu.
