Ingredients
1 lemon
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups gin
3/4 cup elderflower liqueur, such as St. Germain
1 1/2 cups ice
Directions
- Remove 8 thin strips of zest from the lemon using a vegetable peeler and set aside. Thinly slice the lemon and place in a small pot with the sugar and 1/3 cup water. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar dissolves. Let cool and strain the syrup.
- For each of 8 martini glasses, rub a strip of zest around the rim and then drop in the bottom of the glass for garnish. Combine the gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon syrup and ice in a measuring cup or pitcher and stir until very cold. Remove any unmelted ice or strain into the prepared glasses. Serve icy cold.
Cook’s Note
Use a neutral gin to allow the floral notes of the elderflower liqueur to shine through.
