Made with regular aquavit, 1 oz of Lillet Blanc, 1 oz of dry vermouth and 1/2 oz of St. Germain. So delicious! Might try substituting Lillet Blanc for all the dry vermouth next time.

This is a pretty substantial drink. I scaled everything back by about a third and that was perfect.

How big of a martini glass are you using? That is a lot of liquid especially when you add dilution. Plus you're starting off with 5.5oz of alcohol. I know the dry vermouth and elderflower are lower proof, but that's still a gigantic drink.
