Because I had no charcoal filtered rum, I tried to use 30ml of Havana Club 3 and 20 of vodka. It was rather flat, with less of the Daiquiri sourness coming through.

Delightful. Light and flavorful. I love St Germain, so I don't mind a sweeter cocktail, but a couple of dashes of lime bitters adds a splendid citrus bite to the drink.

This is just delicious! We had it the night before leaving for a beach vacation. One of our new favorites. Next time we will try cutting back on the St. Germain, we prefer less sweet cocktails.

I agree with you, the elderflower is too prononced.
