Equipment
Ingredients
- 1.5 ounces vodka I used Absolut
- 0.75 ounces elderflower liqueur I used St-Germain
- 0.5 ounce lemon juice
- ice
- lemon twist to garnish
Instructions
- Start by chilling your martini glass. You can fill it with ice water and set it aside while you prepare the cocktail.
- Grab a cocktail shaker and add plenty of ice. Pour in the vodka, elderflower liqueur, and fresh lemon juice.
- Seal your shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
- Dump the ice water from your glass and strain the mixture from the shaker into your chilled martini glass.
- Take a slice of lemon peel and twist it over the drink to release its oils, then drop it in for that finishing touch.
Notes
- Don’t be shy. The more you shake, the cooler and more mixed the drink becomes.
- If you love a smooth cocktail, use a fine mesh strainer to catch ice fragments.
- Serve in a classic martini glass to keep it elegant and stylish.
- See original post for details instructions to make lemon twists.
