I used pomegranate molasses as that is what I had in the cupboard. Not sure what it would have been like with just molasses but it was lovely, also pomegranate molasses appears to be easier to work with.
As a long standing member of this site, and a huge fan of Simon and his cocktails, I am somewhat demoralised to report that this is actually the worst and most unpleasant cocktail I have yet tasted. And I reckon I've made and consumed upward of a 1000, all taken from this site. It has notes of benylin and gripe water which shine through strongly. If you've ever sucked a dandelion stem, then you may remember the way your face would pucker up with the unpleasant sour tang of it. This cocktail replicates that feeling, perfectly. On a positive note, it looks utterly marvelous in a chilled martini glass. Then you taste it, and an angel dies in your mouth.
I think that is a bit harsh, it was more over ripe banana, pot pourri and a hint of soap.
I used 50mL of watermelon juice instead of fresh watermelon and it worked well. Lovely cocktail for anytime.
Very lovely citrus cocktail, probably better in the summer, could possibly do with another dash of bitters when the oranges are very sweet.
Found this one a bit underwhelming considering we are fans of all the ingredients. We added orange bitters to one and creole to the other and it definitely improved the flavour.

Did this as a cocktail of the day, very surprised by how much we liked it (whiskey is not our usual base). Did drop the sugar syrup by half as we tend to like our cocktails on the less sweet side.
