No, just no. Too much elderflower liquor. Overly floral and not pleasant to drink

As noted by others, defintely on the sweeter side and I think the elderflower gets a bit lost ( I was using the gorgeous no8 distillery elderflower liqueur) but for all that, a pleasant drink.

This is infinitely better when the juice of half a lime is added.
Prior to adding the lime, it was overpoweringly sweet and bitter, and difficult to discern any specific ingredient other than the Cachaça.
Once the lime was added the flavours really opened up, and the Elderflower and Aperol were no longer overpowered.
It went from being an absolute slog to drink, to one of my favourites.

Accidentally made this reversed proportions of Aperol and elderflower, but still turned out pretty great. Will have to try again with the original recipe.

Followed recipe to the letter and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a sweet drink but didn’t spoil my enjoyment. (In fact I’m probably going to make another one right now) Looking forward to trying the Comte de Sureau next.

I took my first sip with some trepidation. I really wasn't sure how those varied ingredients were going to work but it's a terrific cocktail

Went with 1 dash orange bitters as I like a sweeter drink but wanted to try to balance it a little. Very tasty.

This drink is sweet but lovely, much better than I expected (used Capucana Cachaça and Luxardo Aperitivo). I tried with lemon bitters as well, and that helped balance the drink (also tried a lemon twist but the aroma was not as good as with the orange twist)
