Because I am in a land of lingonberries rather than lemons at the moment, I turned the whole thing Finnish with Lignell & Piispanen Lingoncello and lingonberry juice. Yes, it’s a different cocktail now, but it still works! Kippis!

Nice refreshing cocktail. I used homemade Limoncello (190 proof base) and while a little sweet was very nice. With the 190 proof Limoncello you have to be careful as it went down way to easy !!

Nice cocktail, but a bit sweet. Did try Thomas Bryant's suggestion with some elderflower, and it made it appear less sweet.

A pleasing cocktail. After a few libations: tentative varying proportions, I augmented the concoction with a tiny splash of elderflower cordial. I found this to be most complimentary.
