The reference link seems to have some connection problems as of 2016, but is accessible through the Wayback Machine as: https://web.archive.org/web/20150706011708/http://bitbyafox.com/?p=4585. (Later links seem to take an extremely long time to actually redirect and load? Or don't load at all...odd.) The drink is okay, sort of single note grapefruit/citrus. The Lillet Rose isn't able to add much body against so much citrus acidity, and goes mostly unnoticed.
