I think the elderflower a little overwhelming, I’d reduce that down next time. The rosemary only really appears in the aftertaste.

That’s a very pleasant refreshing cocktail. Only a small dash of soda water is required otherwise it would dilute the more subtle flavours away.

S&C and chartreuse are such strong flavours it peaked my curiosity to see them in the same drink. An initial whack of herbally notes, slight fruity and bitter then that rum funk finishes it off nicely.

I accidentally made it twice. I didn’t think I had cream chocolate liqueur so made it with dark chocolate liqueur- then found the cream one once I had made it! Chocolate, coffee and whiskey, what’s not to like! Dark liqueur tastes cleaner and the creamy one is obviously creamier… I think a blended chocolate ice cream version of this is what’s really required…

Tried it with green and yellow chartreuse. I preferred the green. Yellow was a little too sweet. Great cocktail for people who may not be fans of Chartreuse. I really liked it!

Very smooth, coconut and strawberry flavours nicely balanced. It’s simple but quite refreshing. I used a mix of vodka and strawberry syrup as I didn’t have strawberry vodka.

Initially I did think it lacked a certain sweetness but after a few sips I found I enjoyed it as it was. I may have been a little enthusiastic with the bitters but then again I like the flavour of Angostura so didn’t mind!
