Right on the border of how sweet I want a cocktail. Might try again with a more herbal gin.

Sounds interesting. I think I'll try this with Gin Factory's Rosemary Gin to up those herbal notes.

I like this as I have a sweet tooth, but would up the rosemary by using more or perhaps a twisted sprig in the drink. The herbal flavour would help balance the sweetness more

I liked the Rosemary and Pineapple together but the Elderflower does not fit, I will try this with an Akvavit instead of the Gin next time. A tad to sweet for my liking, less Elderflower too)
