1
Prepare glass
Chill a coupe or nick-and-nora glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Mix base
Fill a cocktail shaker with the measured ice (about 1 cup). Add 2 oz dry gin, 0.5 oz elderflower liqueur, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 1 oz white cranberry juice to the shaker.
3
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy from dilution.
4
Strain
Discard ice or water from the chilled serving glass. Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the chilled glass using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and small pulp.
5
Top and garnish
Carefully top the cocktail with about 2 oz club soda to add a light effervescence. Gently stir once with a bar spoon to integrate. Garnish with an edible flower floated on the surface or a thin lemon twist rested on the rim.
6
Serve
Serve immediately while fizzy and cold. Recommend serving with a small napkin; this recipe yields one cocktail.
