I found this cocktail to be a bit too strong. I think I would use less gin next time.

I'm not a big fan of gin, but I really enjoyed this cocktail. The elderflower liqueur and prosecco really balanced out the gin.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cocktail didn't turn out as good as I expected. It was a bit too tart.
