Ingredients
2 oz Empress 1908 Gin
0.75 oz Lillet Blanc (or dry vermouth)
0.5 oz Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
0.25 oz Elderflower Liqueur (e.g., St-Germain)
Ice
Lemon Twist or Edible Flower for Garnish
Instructions
1. Chill a martini or coupe glass in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
2. Fill a cocktail shaker two-thirds full with ice and add the gin, Lillet Blanc, lemon juice, and elderflower liqueur.
3. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker is frosty.
4. Strain the mixture into your pre-chilled glass.
5. Garnish with a lemon twist or an edible flower and serve immediately.
Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, use chilled butterfly pea flower tea instead of gin. To make a vodka-based version, substitute vodka for gin and add a splash of Crème de Violette for color. For a large batch, pre-mix the liquid ingredients in a pitcher and refrigerate.
