Servings: 1 cocktail
Calories: 152kcal
Equipment
- Cocktail jigger
- Cocktail serving glass (a wine glass or copa glass is great for this)
- Knife and cutting board (for garnish)
- Bar spoon (or teaspoon - just to give the drink a quick stir)
- Bottle opener (depending on which type of tonic you have!)
Ingredients
- 1 ½ ounces Gin
- ½ ounces Elderflower liqueur (I used St Germain)
- 4-5 ounces Tonic
Garnish
- 1 slice lime (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Fill your serving glass with ice.
- Add in the gin and the liqueur.
- Add the lime slice to the inside of the glass, so that the ice holds it to the side of the glass.
- Next, pour in the tonic.
- Give it a gentle stir, and then serve.
Notes
- Optionally, cut a lime wedge and squeeze the juice into the drink before adding the tonic. This will cut some of the sweetness of the liqueur and gives it a nice fresh flavor.
- If you want the flavor of elderflower but don't have an elderflower liqueur, you can substitute in an elderflower syrup or an elderflower flavored tonic.
- Try using Empress 1908 Gin to add a beautiful pink color to this drink. The gin is indigo blue, but turns pink in the presence of acidity.
