Delightful summer cocktail with the elderflower, vermouth and lemon in what seems to be an ideal balance. Can't find much more to say, except I plan to introduce several friends to this lovely drink!

Lovely, light, with the elderflower in good balance. I gave it a reverse dry shake to enhance the froth, which worked very nicely.
