Notes

What If I Don't Like Gin? 

Or maybe it's your guests that don't? That's OK. This works beautifully with vodka as well. 

What If I Don't Have A Cocktail Shaker?

That's OK, too. Just simple stir it all together in a glass. I'm not sure James Bond would drink it (shaken, not stirred) but I would.

Can I Use Grapefruit Juice Instead?

I do prefer this with the grapefruit liqueur but grapefruit juice would also work. 

What If I Don't Have Simple Syrup?

If you don't want to make (or buy) simple syrup A Couple Cooks suggests using maple syrup, agave nectar, or honey as a good substitute.
