Interesting they raise the amounts of lemon plus add the oils and peel to the drink. I find the citrus to be at a pretty good level. Mind you, there is some lime in my falernum that is maybe/possibly coming through, but I can't imagine that having a large impact with how little is in there.

I haven't taken active notes as I should have been, but from my recollection, the best slush version of this I had was with Velvet falernum, BG passion and BG orgeat.

I think my favorite shaken version was with my homemade falernum, homemade passion fruit, and Trader Vic orgeat.

I haven't strayed from the proportions of the given recipe yet but I've considered raising the gin amount for extra floralness. I need to treat this like my mai tai's and jot down and rate every variation on this endless quest for perfection.
