i think it could definitely use for double or triple the cucumber flavor than I got, and half the elderflower, to balance sweetness. gin might be playing a role here, maybe i want something drier than tanquearay?

I cut the elderflower liqueur by half, since I had the feeling that it would overpower the other ingredients and maybe end up too sweet. I like it a lot, refreshing and crispy.

agree here. too sweet. too much elderflower, not enough cucumber, not enough attitude.
