Ingredients
- 45 ml Gin
- 15 ml Elderflower liqueur e.g. St-Germain
- 22.5 ml Lemon juice
- 30 ml Champagne
- Garnish Lemon twist
Preparation
- Shake gin, elderflower and lemon with ice.
- Strain into a coupe. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
- Top with champagne.
- Garnish with lemon twist. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
