Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Strainer
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Martini glass
  • Ice

Ingredients

For one Elderflower Vodka Martini, you'll need:

  • 2 oz 60 ml vodka
  • 1 oz 30 ml elderflower liqueur (like St-Germain)
  • 1/2 oz 15 ml fresh lemon juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon twist or edible flower for garnish optional

Choose a good quality vodka as it's the main spirit in this cocktail. Fresh lemon juice is better than bottled for a brighter flavor.

Instructions

  • Fill your cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Add vodka, elderflower liqueur, and lemon juice to the shaker.
  • Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients.
  • Strain the mixture into your chilled martini glass.
  • If desired, garnish with a lemon twist or edible flower.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your Elderflower Vodka Martini!

For a variation, you can add a splash of soda water on top for some fizz. This makes the drink lighter and more refreshing.

    Notes

    This cocktail is best served very cold. If you like a stronger drink, you can increase the vodka to 2.5 oz (75 ml). For a sweeter version, add a touch of simple syrup.
    You can make a big batch for parties by multiplying the recipe. Just remember to shake each serving individually with ice for the best taste and texture.
