Some thoughts on the Sweet Citrus and Flowers Gin Cocktail
You can, if you dare, make this even sweeter by adding some simple syrup. Please tell your dentist hello on my behalf.
You can also cut a bit of the sweet by adding some lemon juice or lime juice instead of the orange juice.
Never hesitate to play with the amount of Elderflower liqueur here, as well, as that tends to be the sweetest part of this drink.
Add edible flowers if you have them!
