Elderflower liqueur replaces aromatised wine in this riff on a classic Corpse Reviver No.2. This means the bitter oils from the lemon zest twist are crucial...
Looking at the recipe, it sounds great, but it misses the mark for me. My first thought—immediately—was that this would be better with tequila resposado; the gin is lost in it. It’s very sweet forward, and I don’t like how the triple sec and St. Germaine blend. I think it would better with (either) one on its own. The lemon comes through after, but not enough. The absinthe is completely lost in it, and absinthe is not an easy flavour to lose. I’ll give it 3 stars, but I won’t make it again.
