Elixir de Vie Cocktail

A curious cocktail recipe quite unlike anything else. This exceptional drink combines the cucumber- scented Hendrick’s, the elderflowery goodness of St. Germain, roses, and the essence of the tropics in falernum:

  • 4 oz Hendrick’s gin
  • 1 oz St-Germain
  • 1 oz falernum syrup
  • 14 drops rose water
  • 2 teaspoons absinthe - we’d recommend Absinthe  St. Antoine
  • 2 lemon twists

Combine ingredients in an ice-filled shaker and stir gently. Strain into 2 short-stemmed glasses and garnish with the twists.
