Nice 1:1:1:1 recipe that still let's genever shine through!
Maybe up genever to 1 oz
This is a fun cocktail to use if you want to experiment with different gin profiles.
Great mix of Genever, Aperol, St. Germain

This is wonderful!

Good stuff. Same sort of flavor judo as the Jasmine cocktail, but much easier to remember, and a bit more mild and approachable. Sort of the difference between fresh, ruby red grapefruit and older white grapefruit.

Varied this by using Hayman's gin and Lime Juice.

This is a great cocktail!! Reminds me of an Aviation a bit. The ingredients blend wonderfully together, without one overpowering the others. With Genevier, I find it hard to make the ingredient blend into a cocktail, but this does very well!

Nice mix of ingredients. As with most recipes that call for equal amounts I played with proportions. This is just a matter of taste of course. My pick: 1.5 oz Genever; 1 oz Elderflower; 1/2 oz lemon juice; 1/2 oz Aperol
