French Gimlet
The French Gimlet adds a touch of elegance and floral sophistication to the traditional Gimlet by introducing elderflower liqueur. This adaptation brings the delightful essence of elderflower, offering a subtly sweet and floral note to the cocktail. Blending the sharpness of gin, the tanginess of lime, and the floral hints of elderflower liqueur, this cocktail presents a harmonious blend of flavors. Served neat or over ice and garnished with a lime wedge, the French Gimlet offers a refined and aromatic twist on a timeless classic.
