Place a 300 ml (approx. 10 oz) Collins or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice and cold water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

Chill glassware

If using a clear large ice cube, ensure it is ready. Chill sparkling water so it is cold and retains carbonation when added.

In a cocktail shaker, add 60 ml London dry gin, 20 ml dry vermouth, 10 ml elderflower liqueur, 25 ml fresh lemon juice and 7.5 ml simple syrup.

Combine base ingredients

Add 1 tsp orange blossom water to the shaker. (Orange blossom water is potent — add gently to avoid overpowering the mix.)

Add aromatics

Dry shake the mixture briefly (no ice) for about 5 seconds to help integrate the aromatics, then add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 8–10 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

Dry shake and chill

Double-strain the chilled mixture through a fine hawthorne or chinois into the chilled 300 ml Collins/highball glass prepared with a large clear ice cube (or generous fresh cubed ice). This ensures a bright, clear appearance.

Strain for clarity

Top gently with 185 ml chilled sparkling water poured slowly over the back of a bar spoon to preserve effervescence and keep the surface smooth and reflective.

Give one very gentle stir (1–2 turns) to integrate the sparkling water without losing too much carbonation.

Garnish with an edible flower placed on the surface or a thin lemon wheel floated on the rim. Serve immediately.
