In this fresh and easy-to-drink cocktail, our Njord Ligalab Elderflower Liqueur is balanced with fruit acidity from grapes and herbal notes from basil. The liqueur contains intense extractions of banana, vanilla and mint, which support the delicate floral character of the elderflowers, and when it’s shaked with basil, mint and honey the flavour journey is like a spring time visit in a herb garden. Enjoy the tour.
1. Pour the liqueur, verjus and honey into a shaker with a handful of mint and basil leaves.
2. Use a mortar to muddle the colour and flavour out of the leaves, then shake with ice for 10 seconds.
3. Use a strainer and fine-strainer when pouring the cocktail into an ice-cold coupe glass.
4. Garnish the cocktail with a mint leaf and two basil leaves, which are placed on top of the cocktail.
Cheers!
Njord Ligalab Elderflower Liqueur is much more than an ordinary Elderflower liqueur. The liqueur contains intense extractions of banana, vanilla and mint, which support the delicate floral character of the extracted elderflowers. It has a fresh acidity from lemons and limes that balances the sweetness.
