First try I thought it was a bit too sweet. Second try I just added 3/4 oz of St. Germain and it hit all my right spots. Besides that amazing cocktail

Too sweet for me too. Will try adding less St. Germaine next time.

I made it with Ukiyo Japanese Yuzu Gin and was surprisingly pleased. The Yuzu and Elderflower works well together and they muted the Campari flavor while still leaving a slight bitterness.

followed the ratios, which i rarely do, but this is lovely Balanced, i used a NAVY strength gin for boldness , the ST germain sweetness is kept in check by the campari. Best 3 ingredient gin cocktail i recall from recent memory.

I think I got the proportions right, but it didn't work for me. St Germain and Campari didn't get along nicely. At least for my taste.

As the ingredients suggest, on the sweet side of bittersweet, one could definitely tinker to suit one’s palate. I upped the gin 60mL. Beautiful with the fresh citrus, a tasty and approachable, fruity take on a negroni. Very drinkable.

I found the elderflower to Campari ratio spot on, I think a gin lover (like me) will appreciate taking it to 52.5 ml/ 1 3/4oz.

This is an excellent Negroni variant, very well balanced. I used Pilla 1920 Select instead of the Martini & Rossi Bitter which makes a great result.

Good gateway into a Negroni. My wife is not a Negroni fan, but I think this may be the drink that changes her thinking.

I like the classic Negroni as-written, but found this delicious, harmonious. The Giffard elderflower is intense, so I dial it back a little to 20ml from 25ml (45ml gin, 20ml elderflower, 7.5ml campari).
