Description
The Méditerranée is an elegant cocktail that captures the aromas of the Mediterranean coast in a glass. It is based on a high-quality Mediterranean gin, whose herbal notes are perfectly complemented by the wine-like Lillet Blanc and the floral sweetness of elderflower syrup. The result is a dry yet highly aromatic drink, reminiscent of a stroll through a coastal herb garden. A sophisticated and refreshing alternative to the classic Martini.
Preparation
- Fill a martini glass with ice to pre-chill it.
- Add all ingredients to a mixing glass filled with ice cubes.
- Stir for about 30 seconds until the glass is well-frosted on the outside.
- Discard the ice from the cocktail glass.
- Strain the contents of the mixing glass through a bar strainer into the ice-cold glass.
- Express a lemon peel over the drink and garnish with a green olive.
