Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces gin
  • ½ ounce elderflower liqueur
  • ½ ounce lemon juice
  • 3-4 ounces tonic water
  • Lemon twist for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add the gin, elderflower liqueur, and lemon juice to a cocktail glass filled with ice.
  • Top with tonic water and garnish, if desired. 

Notes

  • To peel a lemon for a garnish, use a vegetable peeler to remove a thin strip of the lemon's outer peel, being careful to avoid the white pith. Cut the strip of peel into a twist or curl shape using a sharp knife or scissors, and use it to garnish your cocktail.
