History

I prefer Beefeater gin for this cocktail. It has a stronger aroma makes the drink all more powerful. The lime juice adds a sharpness to it that will send you to your meal in a hurry!

Very light and delicate taste. The name fits perfectly.

The quality of the lime is very important. You want these extra juicy limes with a thin pale skin. Otherwise, the excellent drink is pretty much ruined.

Super Zingy! Especially if you're squeezing fresh limes. A little sour for some tastes... i'm adding half a teaspoon of wild honey to soften the zing. enjoy!

I think this going to end up being my "summer" cocktail , although I have started using egg white and cointreau in mine ...
