The 2 worth trying, ranked
Similarity is the owners' vote plus the note overlap. Price is a typical US bottle price when the house publishes one. Bars are each match's own accords.
Where it differs: Sold as an impression of the gin-and-melon original, but its listed lime, bergamot and cedar point to a sharper citrus-woody read with less of the sweet melon and suede.
