Review

Depending on the origin of your choice of ingredients, how "Frenchie" this cocktail is, is questionable, but the result is refreshing, gin-laced and citrus fresh with subtle honeyed floral notes.

Used an extra 30 ml grapefruit and 30 ml soda water instead of the grapefruit soda, it was good.

It's not bad, but the measure of elderflower against the aromatics of the gin and floral oils of the grapefruit products combine to express a laundry detergent note up front, getting more grapefruity in the aftertaste. (20 Feb 2025, 5:30a)

Don't shake the last ingredient unless you want to wear it ?

Thanks for bringing this mistake to my attention, Ellie. I have corrected the how-to-make instructions.
