  • Light, a bit sweet for my taste, but still enjoyable. Might reduce the orgeat a tad next time. The genever gets a little lost (I used a 5-year-old korenwijn).
  • Really good, fruity almond taste with a malty nutty finish — ★★★★★

  • The volumes of lime, elderflower, and violet are enough for two champagne cocktails.
  • More bubbles and a little campari

  • Was in the mood to use Meyer lemons and was quite happy with the results. Also, bumped up the pear eau de vie to a fat quarter.

Respect Your Elders

1 1⁄2 oz Cognac, Pierre Ferrand
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 t Elderberry jelly (with 1 tsp water)
8 dr Cherry Bark Vanilla Bitters, Bittercube
Instructions

Gently warm (microwave) a fat teaspoon of wild elderberry jelly with a teaspoon of water, to make a smooth syrup. Add to other ingredients and stir. Fine strain into a rocks glass over ice.

Notes

A little clumping of the jelly is normal, but fine straining removes that. Have also made this drink straight up, either shaking with ice, or stirring and fine straining into a well-chilled Irish coffee glass. Either Pierre Ferrand Ambre or 1840 works well. The elderberry jelly is available from American Spoon.
