Tart, dry and lightly bitter, but with just enough underlying sweetness to stroke the palate and make another sip so very desirable – a complex, bittersweet...

I bought my first bottle of St Germain and so was looking to start trying some recipes with it as I've never tried it before. This was a great start. Delicious drink! Fruity but very serious and complex—very much to my taste. Will definitely make again. I have not tried with the previous 1/4 St G recipe but this seems just right.

Tried it w gin base and enjoyed it. Swapped out gin for mezcal and would highly recommend for the more adventurous.

A bit dry so if you have a sweeter tooth double up on the elderflower liqueur to make it your new best friend

Thanks Sally. after experimentation, I've gone with your suggestion.

I had to sweeten this to my taste.
Perhaps going up a bit with the St. Germaine would have a similar effect?

Agreed. I've doubled up on the elderflower liqueur. Thanks for the suggestion.

Beautiful colour. Lots of grapefruit flavour. Good with dillution and temp. Our house is split between the recipe as is and bringing down the Campari and upping the St. Germaine slightly.
