This cocktail is the perfect balance of sweet and sour. It's not too sweet, but it's not too tart either.

I used grapefruit instead of orange juice and it gave the cocktail a slightly tart flavor that I really enjoyed.

I made a non-alcoholic version of this cocktail by omitting the gin. It was still delicious and refreshing.
