Elderflower liqueur replaces aromatised wine in this riff on a classic Corpse Reviver No.2. This means the bitter oils from the lemon zest twist are crucial...

This cocktail deserves more attention. Elderflower can really overpower a drink, especially at this quantity. But the other strong and bright elements of this cocktail keep it perfectly in check. Cointreau is the right choice here as well. One of my all time faves.
