Especially liking the subtle acidity from the fino. Pairs well with the floral elderflower. Indeed the deeper I dive into this one the better the different parts display! Sgoinneil Simon! And there at the end the grenadine treat!

I've made this cocktail 5 or 6 times these Christmas holidays. That should mean something.

Went down very well as a Christmas Day cocktail. We went for a very naughty elf, substituting grenadine for Maraska cherry liqueur and sherry for sake. A sprig of rosemary gave it a very festive look.

Genius, looked and tasted very festive! If you drank it on on a hot summer's day it would totally work too! I did the good girl version...for now!
Thank you.
Thank you.

This is very good, the ingredients work really well together.
I might try the naughtiest version next time with some berry liqueur, cassis could be an excellent addition.

Not just a Chrismas cocktail: the right balance and the recognisability of the ingredients deserves its entry into the next Difford’s paper Guide too.

Excellence. Little to tweak here. Every ingredient apparent. I did use Amontillado, which is perhaps too present up front, but it melds beautifully in the aftertaste. (11 Jan 2024, 7:10a)

Been waiting for the right opportunity to try this one out since it first appeared on the website guide; and today was that perfect moment. Happy to say that the drink didn't disappoint, looking suitably festive to boot. Hopefully this is an auspicious start to a successful Christmas cocktail season :-)

Fabulous Christmas cocktail, subtly dry and a hint of sweetness. Not my usual tipple but can certainly recommend.

Fantastic cocktail! Complex and subtle but with great personality!

Having an elf residing with me, this was a must try cocktail. Needless to say she proved herself a naughty elf by stirring the the grenadine before trying the drink. Served with a stem cherry for greater effect.

Great Christmas cocktail. Nicely balanced with a fantastic sweet christmassey finish when you stir in the Grenadine at the end. Used 10ml rather than 15ml of Eldeflower as I was using Giffard's Liqueur Fleur de Sureau Sauvage which is full on.

Terrific new cocktail! I made it with Casamigos cristalano, which adds a bit of savory to it. Yum.

We both liked this. Despite the slightly laboured pun for the name, it is a pleasant blend of flavours, none dominant, but surprisingly complex. A keeper.

Had to make this based on name alone. Interesting wouldn’t say we loved it but it’s very pretty. Would probably make again for visiting elves during the holiday tho.
