  • Adjusted the recipe because of the comments re: sweetness. Used St George terrior gin (1.25 oz) and 0.25 oz simple syrup. Great gin and Ramazotti drink. Rated 5.0 easily.
  • Agree with other comments that it's a bit sweet as written; probably needs little to no simple
  • No simple syrup, sub CioCiaro for the Rammazotti
  • more lemon or lime juice no simple
