  • substituted creme de cassis for creme de mure — ★★★★★
  • 20210602 Tanqueray Citrus Heart Gin, Chambord
  • Have used fresh muddled blackberries and a 1/2 tsp of Creme de yVette instead of the Blackberry liqueur, worked great.

Really good.  As others have said, wonderful balance between sweet and tart/sour.  Hell, it tastes like a maraschino/grapefruit sweet-tart!

MOJO1229 commented on 5/14/2017:


A great drink, as commented upon by others. I made one change that worked out well, however: lacking blackberry liqueur, I substittued Creme de Framboises (a top-notch rasberry liqueur), with a nice outcome. I'm sure the taste of the drink would have been somewhat different, but I was satisfied with the substitution. I used only 1 tsp, but in the future I will use at least 11/2 oz of the rasberry liqueur, because it gets overwhelmed by the lime juice.

This is a wonderful summer afternoon drink that I rated 4.5 (something I don't do often).

  • Cut back on the lemon bitters
  • Good - a bit sweet with Giffard Rhubarb Liqueur (even with 1:1 honey syrup.) I might cut / eliminate the syrup if using Giffard.
