2 jig Gin
1⁄2 jig Elderflower liqueur, St. Elder
1⁄2 jig Bianco Vermouth, Carpano Bianco
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions
Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon twist.
Notes
I used Brockman gin which is quite floral with berry notes, so a nice complement for this drink, but any good gin will add its own character. Carpano Bianco is not a dry vermouth, but rather a sweet white vermount and works well with the Elderflower liqueur. I will sometimes substitute Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth if I am in the mood for less sweetness.
History
Looking for something in the Lychee martini vein, but with gin and not so sweet or kitchy, and came up with this one. Liked it so posted...
