I do like this cocktail. It needs dilution, the more chilled water you get into it the better it loosens/improves. I'm currently going through a regime of trying to train myself to like the taste of Suze/Gentian, so this cocktail is actually part of a process rather than a personal choice. I guess it is a difficult journey to get past that 'yakky' moment you have with Gentian. But I feel I need to make the effort!!

Didn't find it too sweet, although did shake with a lot of ice for well over 30 seconds. Delicious though. Very drinkable, and it has the wonderful benefit of being easy to make and not containing too many ingredients so you can actually appreciate the individual components. Great drink, and not controversial so will appeal to many.

Although the taste of this cocktail is great - Pornstar Martini reminiscent - it is way, way, way, WAY too sweet. We added 10ml Limejuice, but in hindsight, 20ml would be nearer the mark. Possibly more.

Excellent drink, and simple too. Always prefer less ingredients so you can taste them all. I did use packaged pomegranate juice, but it didn't seem to suffer, and juicing your own pomegranates is always a pain in the wotsit. Tart, yes, but the grenadine sweetens it up perfectly, just enough. Added to my favourites about 4 seconds after the first sip.
