  • Mild, frothy, easy drinking, like a mild Margarita or Pisco sour. I used 1/4 oz simple and thought it was sweet enough. — ★★★★★

Comments

Frothy and refreshing. Heavy on the tequila, but i like that. Like the previous commenter, i went with 1/4 oz Simple Syrup and found it plenty sweet. The St. Germaine (elderflower liqueur) gets a little over powered by the other ingredients so I'd maybe take that out and up the simple syrup back up to 1/2 an ounce. Fresh orange juice is quite sweet itself so that not a lot more sweetner is needed beyond that for my taste.

This was a light and pleasant drink, but I felt like the orange juice and elderflower were a bit at odds with each other. (I did have to use store-bought OJ rather than fresh-squeezed.) Like the previous reviewer I used just ¼ oz of simple syrup and wouldn't have wanted it sweeter.
