I loved Elf on the Shelf, which also makes use of fino ad St. Germain, but this Dutch Master doesn't work for me. It may be that vodka is the wrong spirit, compared to tequila. It may also happen that tonic water fails to bring flavours together, whereas grenadine ad triple sec worked wonderfully in EotS. In any case, I won't repeat this one.

Wonderful cocktail. I agree with other drinkers wrt lime being better than lemon. I tried with Smith and Cross and with OFTD. Both are great, but S&C is just amazing.

I think it's a good cocktail but, at least to me, lime dominates too much.

I used 1oz of Lillet and added one ice cube made with tonic water to add a quinine touch. It was disappointing at the beginning, but it evolved to be a really good cocktail. Just for the record, I love fino in my cocktails, well o er dry vermouth.
