History

This variation on a Corpse Reviver No.2 uses elderflower liqueur instead of aromatised wine, making the lemon zest twist's bitter oils essential for balancing this aromatic, floral, and citrusy drink.

This recipe is adapted from one created in 2008 by Sam Ross at Milk & Honey in New York City.
