Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 oz. Dry gin
- 2 oz. Lillet Blanc
- 1/2 oz. Elderflower liqueur e.g., St. Germain
- 2 oz. Grapefruit juice
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- A few dashes of lemon bitters
- Lemon Peel Garnish
Instructions
- Chill Your Glass:
- Begin by chilling a cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the elderflower liqueur, dry gin, Lillet Blanc, and fresh grapefruit juice.
- Add Ice and Shake:
- Add a generous amount of ice to the shaker.
- Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds or until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
- Prepare the Glass:
- Discard the ice water from your now-chilled glass.
- Add Bitters:
- Add a few dashes of lemon bitters directly into the chilled glass. This will add a layer of complexity to your cocktail.
- Strain and Serve:
- Strain the mixture from the shaker into your prepared glass. Ensure you leave the ice behind in the shaker.
- Garnish:
- For an extra touch of elegance, consider garnishing with a twist of lemon peel or a thin slice of grapefruit.
- Enjoy:
- Your French Blonde is ready to be enjoyed. Sip and savor the harmonious blend of flavors.
