Excellent. Ideal when you want something not absolutely bone dry but not sweet either.

I did not have the amber vermouth so I substituted Lillet Blanc. It was quite tasty.

Just made this cocktail twice - once with Dolin Dry and once with Martini & Rossi Ambrato. There is an ENORMOUS difference in favor of the (slightly) sweeter amber vermouth. I'm not sure from where the suggestion to switch to a dry vermouth came, but it's a mistake in my opinion. With the Ambrato this is, indeed, an amber Martini with a subtle sweetness and lovely finish. I used Tanqueray, Angostura Orange bitters and the aforementioned M&R along with the St. Germain.

Hi Joe. I agree. I've reverted back to ambrato vermouth.

Effortlessly elegant! I did it with a small batch gin from Silver Circle distillery in the Wye Valley. Instantly became a favourite.

It turns out that elderflower is a botanical used in this gin from Silver Circle.

Used a cucumber flavored gin and it was great. With a Montréal elderflower liqueur (Rosemont distillerie) that i recommand.

A rich and richly flavoured martini. Perfect sweet sour balance for me. The elderflower adds lovely subtle sweet and floral characters, and a certain ‘juiciness’. Very tasty.

I found a bottle of Old Tom gin in my cabinet, actually a Norwegian " Golden Cock Gin".
That did the trick.
I think managed to make a well tasting wet-ish martini.

Just wandering if old tom is ok! Maybe next time because i used a fresh style gin (cucumber flavored) it was lovely.

Beefeaters | Pergote | St. Germaine | Ango_______really delicious stuff, martinis are usually too dry to be enjoyable for me. i measured by my digital scale so i know i put about 15% too much elderflower and i can definitely tell its there, i will be more accurate next time and see if its still delicious, but i am enjoying this

been making this one wrong! been using a bianco vermouth, not a london dry!

made another one with tangueray. got the ratios correct. dont like it as much. not sure if its the higher abv, or less sweetness from the elderflower, but the first one was better

I upped the gin to 2 oz, with 1/2 oz Vermouth, 1/2 oz St Germain, 2 dashes orange bitters and it tastes great!

I did the same John. Very nice martini riff, I’m adding this one to my rotation!

For me the balance was spot on. A light, very slightly sweet gin cocktail. I’m drinking this on a cold damp January evening and I can believe spring is on its way!

This is a really nicely balanced “wet-ish” martini. I will definitely be putting this in my regular rotation!

I used blanc vermouth instead of dry to balance out the elder, I also used my own Gin which is heavily herbal. Came out delicious!
13th July 2022 at 00:32
Great aperitif. Recipe was exactly what I like before dinner. You get the herbal flavours of the gin with a slight sweetness and floral.

As I cannot get a hold of any kosher Elderflower liqueur, I've picked up a bottle of Monin elderflower syrup and am hoping to substitute it in this cocktail.
I've never tried elderflower liqueur, so I have nothing to compare it to. Would anyone know or suggest how I'd go about doing so? (I know it'll turn out less alcoholic, but I'm going more for overall taste). Maybe a bit more base alcohol or less syrup than liqueur? If so, how much?

What it takes to be kosher? We have in Montreal a very nice elderflower liqueur done by Rosemont distillerie.
Maybe it is kosher! Proud quebecer as i am, i use it instead of the french classic one.

A very nice cocktail. I dialed back the gin to 1.25, dry vermouth 1, st germain .25. Very refreshing
18th April 2022 at 22:32
I’ve had this based on a different recipe with half the vermouth and about 50% more St. Germain and it was delightful.
15th January 2022 at 22:11
The small amount of St. Germain adds sweetness and floral notes without being overpowering.

I really like the sour/bitter kick to this. It's like a more refined Vesper.
27th September 2020 at 05:11
not crazy about this. Way too much vermouth in my opinion
18th September 2020 at 19:22
Good, i have try whith pink gin: very good
