So smooth that it's almost fluffy. A slightly sweet after-dinner cocktail.

Slightly too much on the sweet side to my taste... I've added more orange bitter. Not the more subtle, yet very enjoyable.

Gorgeous: tangy, floral, with a lovely orange nose.

Very nice. The elderflower works well with the lime. Tasty, smooth, somewhat - but not too - sweet, not too boozy. We will definitely be making these again - - and again.

This is delicious. Possibly a little too sweet for me, might experiment with more lime, or try adding some lemon instead of / as well as.
