11268 The Corsican Under 5 mins Under 5 mins 1 drink Fri Jul 10 09:28:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 10:25:17 -0700 2009 Easy CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/11268 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:25:17 GMT A drink of both Italian and French origins Like the island of Corsica, this drink is part French, part Italian, and 100 percent unique. The island of Corsica went back-and-forth between French and Italian rule so many times that the natives consider themselves, first and foremost, uniquely Mediterranean and independent. Similarly this drink combines a French apéritif, Lillet Blanc, with an Italian digestivo, limoncello, for a multicultural Mediterranean kick. Topping it off with elderflower pressé makes for a lightly floral and citrus-y drink that’s refreshing yet deceptively potent.

What to buy: Belvoir Elderflower Pressé is a combination of elderflower, lemon, and lightly carbonated water and can be found at specialty food markets and online.
