    Classic spec, Paul Harrington (1990s)

    First version

    Uncannily like grapefruit, and easy to drink. I wouldn't change a thing, and will definitely continue using Malfy Gin Rosa when I have it on hand. The twist kept falling into the glass, so for the photo I cut a small groove in it to hook it on the lip.

    Verdict
    Keep as is
    Next time
    Practise lemon twists: this one kept falling into the glass
