Orange blossom extract has an indefinable flavor that isn’t exactly floral, so it adds intrigue to this elegant spritzer. Use a pink Champagne, if liked.
Ingredients:
4 dashes of Peychaud’s bitters
15 ml/1/2 oz St-Germain elderflower liqueur
1/4 teaspoon orange blossom extract
1/2 teaspoon sugar syrup
120 ml/4 oz well-chilled Champagne
lemon zests
edible flowers, to garnish
SERVES 1
Directions:
Pour the bitters, elderflower liqueur, orange blossom extract and sugar syrup into a small wine glass and add a few ice cubes. Top up with Champagne, squeeze the lemon zests over the drink and discard. Stir, garnish with an edible flower and serve at once.
