Elderflower Old Fashioned
Bourbon
The Elderflower Old Fashioned is a refined twist on a classic, balancing the warmth of bourbon with the delicate floral notes of elderflower liqueur. A touch of simple syrup softens the edges, while Angostura bitters add depth and complexity. Stirred to perfection and served over a large ice cube, this cocktail is finished with an aromatic orange peel and cherry garnish, enhancing both its fragrance and flavor.
