I like the left bank martini and wanted to try something longer. This is very refreshing as a summer aperitif. Would be also very nice with a Prosecco or sparkling white wine.

Delicious indeed. Especially the lime zest lead on that first sip! Great combo.

Loved this. The Elderflower enhanced the herbal tastes of the gin. The wine adds a bit of grape softness. Nicely on the dryer side and perfect in the afternoon or before dinner.

I would prefer the cocktail a bit less sweet, a.e. 3cl Elderflower/ 6cl Chablis

Agreed! I've cut back the elderflower and also reduced the overall volume to better fit glass.

Adorei a combinação de sabores, mas também achei que ficou doce demais. Vou testar o próximo nestas proporções.
