I used Monkey 47 and I think this oughta be something more juniper-forward, and next time I'll use my Sipsmith. But there will definitely be a next time. It's quite sweet, which is why a more classic London dry is probably better, but very well balanced and flavorful. I'm generally not super enthusiastic about sweeter drinks but this was really fantastic.
