For a less intense lemon flavor, use only half of the preserved lemon peel. Experiment with different gins to find your perfect flavor combination. London Dry gins work particularly well. If you don't have preserved lemon, you can substitute a small piece of fresh lemon peel and a tiny pinch of sea salt.
