- 3/2 oz gin
- 1/2 oz grenadine
- 1/2 oz lemon juice
- 1/2 oz aquafaba
Shake with ice, then shake one more time without ice.
The grenadine is homemade, and not bright red, so I guess it is more of a pink-ish lady. But still a great cocktail after dinner!

I haven't tried many gins, but I would say that it tastes more like citrus than Beefeater, and it smells a lot more floral. But the citrus is not as strong as in Roku. It is priced similarly as Beefeater here, and I like Citadelle a lot more in a gin and tonic, so I usually go with it. I should probably work on my gin tasting notes though ^^ I heard that the Citadelle Jardin d'ÊtÊ was really good too, but I have yet to try it

Interesting. I generally like a more spice forward profile in gin, but I've found that Malfy, which is very citrus forward, can be absolutely superb in the right drink (it's the only way to make a good Negroni, for one thing). I think I'll have to give it a try.

Thanks for sharing OP! Don't let the 3/2 haters get to you, it makes perfect sense.
Personally I prefer describing mixed drinks in parts, that way the drink volume can be customized intuitively. For instance, your recipe is 3 parts gin, 1 part each grenadine, lemon juice, and aquafaba.
Here's a recipe for a Maple Cinnamon Whiskey Sour.
3 pt whiskey 2 pt lime/lemon juice 1 pt real maple syrup A dash of cinnamon Shake over ice and serve in glass of your choice
Now you can make a 3oz drink or a 9 gallon drink lol

Thanks! I usually save my recipes in ml, so like 45/15/15/15, but yes, parts does make more sense. I'm not used to oz, so I never know how one is supposed to write with them ^^ The maple cinnamon sour sounds good, I'll have to try it!

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:
Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.
A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

What's the flavor profile like on the Citadelle? Any other gins you'd compare it to? I see it a lot at my local and I've been trying to decide if it's worth trying a bottle.
