Review:
This 8:4:2 formula is a tad sourer than the classic sour proportions of 8:3:4 – two parts of the strong ingredient (gin), three-quarter parts of sour (lemon juice), one part of the sweet ingredient (sugar syrup). However, depending on your lemons, this should be perfectly balanced, especially if using old tom gin, as recommended. Hit the right balance, and this is a delicious cocktail.
