This is from the top trend "cool cocktails" article in Bon Appetit's January '03 issue. This is "one of the most popular drinks at Nob Hill, the Vegas outpost of noted San Francisco chef Michael Mina. Serve it with old-fashioned cheese straws, and bring cocktail hour back at your house."

I'm not a big fan of ginger beer, but this cocktail is still really good. The other ingredients really balance out the ginger flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cocktail turned out really bitter. I think I might have used too much lime juice.

I didn't have any elderflower liqueur, so I used St. Germain instead. It turned out great!

This cocktail is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it with less elderflower liqueur next time.
