I tried this with blood orange juice from Waitrose and it was delicious.

Very nice, I added a little bit more grenadine because it felt a bit weak.

Didn’t have any lemons, so we tried this with the same amount of lime juice, and it was splendid. I almost prefer it with lime juice, because it goes well with the absinthe.

Do you update this every year?

I love this. Easy to make, and a bit of bitters livens it up.

Nice, but the gin is too present. Why not the more standard 2:1:1 ratio?

How can this drink celebrate the Canadian flag with American bourbon? Especially when Canadian Rye makes for a superior cocktail?

There's plenty of maple syrup produced in the US.

BTW, I love the combination of maple syrup and any kind of whisky; it's almost perfect.

I stumbled in this looking for ways to combine gin and Grand Marnier. It is fabulous, though a bit too sweet. I’ll have to try it with a bit less Grand Marnier, or, perhaps, a bit more gin to compensate for the Grand Marnier and sweet vermouth.
