I like a drink with more volume, and make my Negroni with 2 oz gin to 1 oz sweet vermouth / Campari. So I did the same here, 2 oz gin 1 oz St Germaine / 1 oz Campari. Excellent balance and one I will definitely move into my regular rotation!

Strong drink I cut back on elder flower like everyone said I think I would rather cut back on gin little over powering for me definite quinine after taste from Campari but over all a nice strong sipping cocktail for a cold snowy afternoon while cleaning carpet n listening to Pink Floyd

This is a new favourite as an opening tipple for small gatherings. Hard to go past that colour! Dropped it to 20ml St Germain as others suggested, and that worked well.

Used No. 10 gin and Gagliardo Bitter Radicale, dropped the St. G a smidge from other recommenders...great drink, also loved the color. I tasted a lot of a grapefruit in this drink.

Mixed it with Neroli gin (That Boutique-y Gin Company). Tasty and complex, but next time I would decrease the amount of St. Germain a bit.

Delicious. I didn’t have an orange to hand, so I used a dash of orange bitters instead. Especially nice with gooseberry gin.

Absolutely love it, just about my favourite!

Too sweet & syrupy.

Excellent elderflower cocktail. Thanks.

Lovely drink. The right amount of Campari for my taste - I find a classic negroni hates me too much.

I prefer this cocktail served up in a Nick & Nora glass with a slightly decreased amount of St. G. (20ml). In both configurations, it’s quite good though.

I think you found the perfect amount of St. Germain for this cocktail!

Found this dominated by the gin - maybe I need to express my oils more vigorously...

As the ice melts, the gin begins to recede. Even with Tanqueray Export this can turn into a lovely drink.

I enjoyed this one. Love the bright pink colour and surprising complexity. Looks like a sweet drink but is not. Would reccomend.
