Reviews
Not for the timid, this is like a gin gimlet, but maybe better…I did add a splash of simple syrup. I wouldn’t serve it at a wedding or you would have people on the floor. For the reviewer who was looking for a fruity drink, I suggest you look at the proportions of alcohol to other ingredients. You probably want something with pineapple and orange juice and a discreet amount of rum. I will definitely fix this again..the bitters were a nice touch.
I went out and bought the bitters just because this drink sounded so great! It’s beautiful and I thought very tasty! If you want to sweeten it up a little bit, you could add some simple syrup, but honestly I really liked this drink…but then again, I’m the martini lover, so this is a very nice drink!
I thought this drink was terrible, was hoping for a fruity tasting drink and this did not taste like that at all.
