Review:

Floral vodka with dry vermouth complexity. Using vodka straight from the freezer and chilled vermouth is key to achieving the desired temperature for this elderflower 'Martini'.

Wow. Just made this one and I absolutely love this cocktail. The floral flavors up front with a nice sry vermouth finish. Yes, please!

I liked this more than expected! Made with Dolin Dry. Nice amount of Elderflower without being too overwhelming. Nice amount of sweetness, for my taste, too.

What a nice cocktail. Dry, yet has a nice floral component from the Elderflower liqueur. Was also pushing my sweetness limit, but not by much. Very enjoyable.

Very nice and wonderful mix of flavours. I did find it a little sweet for my tastes, but I tend to like things dry. I might consider trying it with a little less Elderflower.
