  • Delicious one. Next time I may top it with ango or some other float.
  • Great with Liber Spicy Ginger Syrup
  • Tasty - I think my ginger syrup may be a bit on the sweet side. This was nice, but quite sweet. I added some Elemakule Tiki bitters to good effect.
  • Added allspice berries to ginger syrup
  • Made with Pussers. Delish! — ★★★★★

bvankammen commented on 1/06/2016:

Good balance; of the 3 ingredients you'd expect to be able to taste, you can taste them all equally.  But could use another layer of flavor: herbal or fizzy, maybe?


marquisexb commented on 9/24/2021:

I feel like gin is the wrong alcohol for this. Also agree with another commenter that it lacks another layer or more depth. For a second drink, I swapped cachaca and added some bitters, and felt that was an improvement.


Shawn C commented on 10/08/2023:

Kind of bland, low proof, modest alcohol content, dry. Better as it warms. Maybe 2.5 out of 5...but not a 3. The grapefruit juice adds some citrus acidity to the mild bitterness of the Punt e Mes and drier bitter of the Lillet. I am not sure what might improve it, but I might try 1/2 oz of Pamplemousse liqueur in place of the grapefruit juice, or go to 1/2 oz grapefruit juice. If sticking with Plymouth, the Navy Strength would at least give it some alcohol heat.
