Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 ounces gin
- ¾ ounce elderflower liqueur
- ½ ounce fresh lime juice
- ½ ounce simple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. The ice chills the mixture and helps dilute it slightly for a balanced flavor.
- Shake: Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds to thoroughly mix the ingredients and achieve the right chill and dilution.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass to remove ice shards and ensure a smooth drinking experience. Serve immediately to enjoy the cocktail at its best flavor and temperature.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for the best flavor.
- Adjust the simple syrup amount to taste if you prefer a sweeter or more tart cocktail.
- Chill your coupe glass in advance to keep the drink colder longer.
- You can substitute elderflower liqueur with other floral liqueurs like St-Germain if unavailable.
