I agree with a number of others here - reducing the Suze a tad makes the drink more balanced. So the ration became 1 gin/ 1 Cocchi Americano/ .75 Suze. I had no grapefruit twist but a dash of grapefruit bitters spread over 4 cocktails worked well.
Love the five three five! Such a great color too!
We tried this with applejack last night, and it was a success. The thin slice of (Cosmic Crisp in our case) apple really makes it.
Glad you enjoyed it! The Clash also definitely helps in bad times.
