Rated 4,5, excellent, but I found that elderflower liquor was too present and the cocktail a little bit too sweet. I want to do it again with less elderflower liquor and a little (little !) more lime, I think it could get a 5 if better balanced (to my taste).

Wow, this is first sip fantastic! Green Chartreuse perfectly balances the floral sweetness of St-Germain. Caravedo Puro Quebranta provides pisco character without adding additional aromatics. Good limes help! Curious to try this with the more fragrant piscos.☆☆☆☆☆♡
