  • A bit too sweet, lighter on elderflower/heavier on bitters for more balance. Considering adding another ingredient.
  • Made with Plymouth Navy Strength (the only non-London-dry gin I had on hand). This was appealing and deceptively smooth. Floral of course. — ★★★★

Comments

The "Midnight Prayer" is a pleasant drink, with subtle flavors that come out as the drink lingers--for example, as you're playing cribbage. I rate this drink at 4.0. Try it and let's see where the rating goes.
