Found this a tiny bit too sweet.
Used mezcal instead of tequila.
20 ml Suze and Elderflower liqueur - tastes more balanced. And boozy :)

Thanks, Tahel and Matt. Agreed! I've gone with Matt's 25ml elderflower liqueur (reduced from 30ml).

Tried your specs (except still with Tequila) and Simon's specs and I marginally preferred yours, but I think I would split the difference and up the Elderflower to 25ml.

Either way, this is the first St Germain cocktail I've had where the elderflower hasn't completely overpowered everything else.

Recommend.
