Method

Cocktail

Chill glass

Place a rocks glass or coupe in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice and water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.

Combine ingredients

Add 2 oz vodka, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz elderflower liqueur, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes orange bitters into a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with cubed ice (about 6 pieces). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well-chilled.

Prepare serving glass

If you chilled the glass in the freezer, remove it now. If you used ice and water to chill, dump the water and remaining ice. Add a large clear ice cube or sphere if using.

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled rocks glass over the large ice cube (or serve neat in a coupe) using a Hawthorne and fine-mesh strainer to catch small ice shards and pulp.

Optional sparkle

If you prefer a spritz, top with 1 oz chilled soda water or Champagne and gently stir once to combine. This turns the drink into a lighter, sparkling version.

Garnish and serve

Express the oils of a lime twist over the drink or float a lime wheel on top. Serve immediately.
