Just incase anyone is considering King’s Ginger vs Ginger syrup opt for the latter. I bought a bottle of King’s to try out this version but honestly it was a rather weak incarnation of Ross’s recipe and lacked the right mouthfeel.
Is the Swimming Pool not a different cocktail created by Schumann in the 70s. It includes rum, vodka and coconut cream?

The educatedbarfly as has a nice page/video regarding the history of the cocktail.
Interesting drink, personally think the spice of the Opihr unbalances the drink (doesn’t play perfectly with the citrus too) but still tasty. What other gins would users recommend? (Plymouth worked well for me)
