Method
Preparation
Prepare the Apricot Puree
In a blender, combine fresh apricots (about 2-3) and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids, yielding approximately 1 oz of apricot puree.
Mix the Base
In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin and fresh lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Assembly
Combine Ingredients
Strain the mixture from the shaker into a tall glass filled with ice. Add the apricot puree and elderflower syrup, stirring gently to combine.
Add Soda
Top the mixture with soda water, pouring gently to maintain the bubbles. Stir lightly to incorporate.
Garnishing
Garnish the Cocktail
Add a lemon wheel and fresh mint leaves as garnish on top of the drink. Serve immediately with a straw or cocktail stirrer.
