History:
The signature cocktail of the French Experimental Group since their first bar in Paris opened in 2007. The Experimental recipe uses elderflower cordial rather than elderflower liqueur but I find many elderflower cordials contribute too much citric acidity in addition to the fresh lemon juice.
Review:
Vodka-laced rich floral elderflower balanced by lemon citrus acidity with basil contributing aromatics.
