A very complex, yet botanical and refreshing cocktail. It seems different palates experience this quite differently: I felt the elderflower sweetness came to the fore, whereas my partner felt the Aperol/citrus bitterness dominated. (Note: we used Fee Bros bitters, so our slugs of that were probably more than the Bob's drops prescribed here).
Very nice cocktail, but I would actually add more aperitivi and less lemon juice. It is very tangy and bitter - due to the high amount of lemon and grapefruit ingredients, and not enough sweetness to balance it. Nevertheless, a nice complex zesty-floraly drink that feels fun, mostly in summer.
Very nice. 4 stars.
Trying to find a lemon juice heavy cocktail and came across this. I switched to all lemon juice and omitted the egg white and grapefruit bitters. It’s quite sour with the same ratio used as per this recipe, some experimenting might find a better overall balance.
