Instructions

A refreshing, tangy cocktail that combines the classic flavors of orange and gin with a modern twist, perfect for sipping on a warm evening. The Citrus Serenade is a delightful dance of flavors that will entertain your taste buds and leave you wanting more. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (Preferably a dry gin for a crisp taste) - 1 oz Fresh orange juice (For the best flavor, freshly squeezed is recommended) - 0.75 oz Lemon juice (Again, fresh is best) - 0.5 oz Simple syrup (Adjust according to your sweetness preference) - 0.25 oz Elderflower liqueur (Adds a floral note that complements the citrus flavors beautifully) - A dash of Orange bitters (To enhance the orange flavor and add depth) - Ice - Orange peel and a thyme sprig for garnish (The aromatic thyme adds a nice touch to the presentation and the scent complements the citrus flavors) Glass: Serve in a chilled coupe glass for a classic, elegant presentation. Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, fresh orange juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, elderflower liqueur, and orange bitters. 2. Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds or until the outside of the shaker feels cold. This ensures the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted, which is key for a smooth drinking experience. 3. Strain the mixture into the chilled coupe glass to remove the ice. 4. Garnish with a twist of orange peel and a sprig of thyme. To express the oils, gently twist the orange peel over the drink before dropping it in. This adds an aromatic citrus scent that enhances the first sip. The Citrus Serenade is a symphony of sour and sweet, with the elderflower liqueur adding a sophisticated and slightly floral backdrop. Enjoy this modern classic as an aperitif or a refreshing interlude to your evening.
