This cocktail was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less elderflower liqueur.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cocktail turned out great! I loved the combination of cucumber and gin, and the elderflower liqueur added a nice floral touch. I'll definitely be making this again.

This cocktail was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I'm not a big fan of gin, but I really enjoyed this cocktail. The cucumber and elderflower liqueur helped to balance out the flavor of the gin.

Not a fan of this cocktail. The cucumber flavor was too strong for me and the elderflower liqueur was too sweet.
