Cocktail Description

The Elderflower Zephyr delivers a silky cloud of citrus-floral elegance that dances between sweet sophistication and bright refreshment.

This modern classic combines the honeyed floral notes of St-Germain with fresh orange and lime juices, creating a perfectly balanced sip where neither sweetness nor acidity dominates. The egg white provides a luxurious frothy texture while the orange bitters add subtle complexity and aromatic depth. Despite requiring fresh-squeezed juices and proper shaking technique, it's a straightforward cocktail for home bartenders to master—just remember to shake vigorously to achieve that perfect frothy cap. It shines as a pre-dinner aperitif on warm spring evenings or during sophisticated brunches when you want something more interesting than a mimosa. Pair it with light seafood dishes like scallops or shrimp, soft cheeses, or fruit-forward desserts to complement its delicate flavor profile without overwhelming the subtle elderflower notes.
