Review:
When made with good crushed ice, this is a serious gin cocktail, and the combination of botanicals, herbal liqueur, and grenadine gives this classic an almost rose-like flavour.
It's common to add a splash of soda when making Daisies, and if you want to do this, then add the soda to your shaker, after shaking but prior to straining. However, the crushed ice mitigates the need for this additional dilution.
