Review

It's hard to believe this floral, dry, light golden tipple is so loaded with alcohol. Go easy twinkle toes!

I got this recipe from the internet because it wasn't in the
16th edition Difford's.
I only had Reyka vodka but paired it with St Germain elderflower, and a good brut Aussie sparkling.
I like the result (oh yes, boozy, but it's NYE). Personally I'd like it drier and less floral, so a different vodka or less St Germain?

Try less St Germain - perhaps 10ml.

Wow, this is great. Hits all the marks. Easy to drink and boozy without being unpleasant. Not for the faint of heart, but what a great drink.

Just received the new book - can’t believe the Twinkle is not included!? Otherwise loving your work... ?

I found the alcoholic hit a bit too much, but the elderflower tasted good with the fizz.
