Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Combine gin, orange-flavored liqueur, elderflower liqueur, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker. (2 minutes)

02

Step
1 mins

Add a generous amount of crushed ice to the shaker. (1 minute)

03

Step
1 mins

Cover the shaker tightly and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is well-chilled and frosted. This usually takes about 15-20 seconds. (1 minute)

04

Step
1 mins

Strain the cocktail into two chilled glasses. (1 minute)

For an extra touch, garnish each glass with a lemon twist or a small edible flower.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, you can add a splash of simple syrup.
Chilling your glasses beforehand will help keep your cocktail colder for longer.
Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
