Comments

This is the least good cocktail using elderflower I've had.  I love this stuff but this is a miss:  too much elderflower or maybe the interaction with orange is wrong.  The original Corpse Reviver #2 is better.

Tart, sweet, wonderful nose where the elderflower and absinthe intertwine. Must shake double long (preferably with absinthe straight from the freezer) as it is best enjoyed as cold as possible.

Was too sweet for me the first time I made it so next time I reduced the Cointreau & St. Germain to 2/3 oz and now is one of my top cocktails.
