Review

Gin's botanicals and rich, floral elderflower are the foundation, overlaid with zesty, sour citrus freshness and drying black tea tannins.

All around great cocktail. I like really strong flavors so next time I might steep the tea twice as long before chilling it. Delicious!

Ran out of tea (got less than 15 ml) and as a result, the elderflower overpowered the drink. Need to make it again next time.

Really good, might find its way to my favourites! Elderflower not too overpowering, nice citrusy notes with a mellow tea and gin flavour throughout.
