The Bitter Elder

Winter is the right time for cocktails with a bitter touch. Add to this a hint of summer and you've got the Bitter Elder. The delicate taste of elderflower liqueur mingles well with brash, bitter Campari and together with the dryness of the gin and tangy lemon juice it all adds up to an excellent late afternoon drink that goes well with both sexes.



3 cl gin
1 cl Campari
1 cl St-Germain
1 cl lemon juice
Shake ingredients with ice, and strain into a coupe glass.

Although the bottle signals Art Deco, the French elderflower liqueur St-Germain was created as late as 2007. Its delicate yet distinct taste mixes well with dry white wine and all types of dry sparkling wine.
