- Very dry. Based on the comments I read I tasted it before shaking and then added a bar spoon of agave. It was not enough to keep it from being almost astringent. Perhaps another sweeter ingredient would help this drink reach its potential. — ★★★
- Pretty good - although we agree with the comments on adding some sweetener (.25). I added a bit of lavender simple syrup.
- Used Berto gin. Might be a bit dry with very dry gin
- Delicious - but for my tastes, I had to add a bit of agave syrup to give it just a touch of sweetness.
