Black Rainbow

The delicate flavor of elderflower is highlighted in this sweet, sparkling, slightly fruity and floral cocktail, with a nice dose of acidity. From the Learn to Make Cocktails group in Quebec.

@Kathy Blais inspired me with her recipe for "Black Rainbow", which I modified to keep the color more uniform and add a little sparkle.

Ingredients 

  • 1.5 oz of Prose Vodka
  • 1 oz of St-Germain elderflower liqueur
  • 0.75 oz lemon juice 
  • 0.5 oz of simple syrup
  • Ice
  • Tonic Elderflower 1642
  • Fresh basil or mint bouquet

Preparation:

  1. In a shaker, pour:
  2. Prose Vodka
  3. Elderflower liqueur
  4. Lemon juice
  5. The ice
  6. Shake the shaker for 10-15 seconds and pour into a rocks glass.
  7. Topper with Tonic elderflower 1642
  8. Garnish with a bunch of fresh basil or mint

Cheers!
