Instructions
Garnishes (optional)
- To make a lime peel garnish for the rim, use a vegetable peeler to cut a wide strip of lime peel. Then use a paring knife to cut it into a leaf shape, and cut a slit down the middle and some details on the peel edge. Set it aside.
- Cut the lime in half and then cut a slice from the middle. Set it aside while you make the drink.
Cocktail
- Add the vanilla vodka, elderflower liqueur and lime juice to a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker with ice, close it up and shake well (about 15-20 good shakes).
- Fill your cocktail glass with fresh ice.
- Strain the drink into the glass.
- Add the seltzer to the glass.
- If you are using the garnishes, place the lime peel on the rim of the glass, using the slit in the center to attach it to the rim. Then, add the lime slice to the inside of the glass, wedged between the ice and the side of the glass.
- Serve and enjoy!
