Notes
Helpful tips
- What makes it a sipping cocktail is it has three different alcohols, so you don't want to drink it too fast.
- I've seen this cocktail made with vodka instead of gin, but the combination of Elderberry liqueur and gin is wonderful. Check out my French gimlet.
- Whenever I serve a cocktail in a martini glass, I chill the cocktail glass in the freezer. I don't do it here on the blog because it's very difficult to photograph a chilled cocktail glass. But I recommend you do so, especially for a small cocktail party.
- The perfect garnish for this drink is adding pomegranate arils to the bottom of the glass before pouring out the cocktail.
- If you can't find St Germain liqueur, any elderberry liqueur will do.
- Use a white wine like Sauvignon Blanc as you don't want a sweet wine in the cocktail since pomegranate juice, and the elderberry liqueur are both on the sweet side.
