Huh. Tried this with Gunpowder and it was kind of terrible. All my fave ingredients but something was off? Elderflower absolutely overpowered, and as much as I adore Campari I think Aperol may be a better amaro to use. Using Gunpowder is on me, lovely flavor but didn’t match at all. French Gimlet, YES. This? Nope.

I made this with Drumshanbo Gunpowder gin and a generous pour of St. Germain, and found it very, very enjoyable. A good mix of gin botanicals, bitter background, and a sweet floral finish. I will definitely revisit this one.

I don't often have fresh pink grapefruit available, so I'm using a grapefruit liqueur and Topo Chico to make something light and refreshing as a Gin and Tonic but different.

LOVE THIS!! I did add an extra 5ml of grapefruit juice and Campari because I love the bitter. It's delicious on a warm night!

Can confirm! Great hot summer evening apéritif. When you want something more complex than most gin sours, but it’s blazin’ out there at the grill!

Less elderflower liqueur or it dominates - original recipe with 7,5 ml is great. Recommended cocktail in that way.

Thanks (all) for the feedback. I've nudged the elderflower back to 10ml (1/3oz). Please see my review above.

A very nice cocktail. Grapefruit forward with the St Germain providing a nice finish. (This is weird but to me St Germain smells and tastes like mangoes). This was very nice on a hot summer evening and would highly recommend.

Made this cocktail this evening and wondered why I had previously rated it a five star. Found it sweet and intense. Then when reading comments realised the recipe has changed.
I will try it again in future with the 1/4oz elderflower. I think I might then remember why I liked it so much the first time.

Agreed.
