A Brighter, more lively version of cocktails in the negroni realm. Grapefruit shines over the red bitter. Combined with the velvety effect of the egg white, this goes into the favourites file.
Interesting and quite enjoyable. Used a local gin from the Canadian prairies, Martini and Rossi sweet vermouth because that's what is available in a rural prairie setting and lavender syrup made in my kitchen. Bitterness is somewhat tamed compared to a classic negroni. The lemon and lavender add complexity and brightness. Will definitely offer this to acquaintances who enjoy a negroni.
An excellent cocktail! Cucumber forward followed by tequila, lime and a hint of mint. Good blend of tart and sweet. Used Espolon tequila because that's what I have. Used rich simple syrup and reduced the volume by about half.
