3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Rose
3⁄4 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Elder

4 dr Orange bitters, Fee Brothers Orange
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Shake and then strain into cocktail glass. Coat rim with orange peel and garnish with orange peel twist. Any grapefruit juice will do, but preferably fresh.

The orange bitters and rim sweeten the smell while the sweet but bitter juice lightly compliments the dry and sweet of the liqueurs. The Bourbon gives a hint of old fashioned feel.

Comments

Curated for capitalization and lack of instructions. I assume a tart grapefruit juice should be used to avoid excess sweetness. I also assumed that this should be shaken; please correct if I'm in error.
