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.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 part chilled limoncello
- 2 parts chilled Lillet Blanc
- 4 parts chilled elderflower pressé
- Lemon twist (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Stir together limoncello and Lillet in a wineglass and top with pressé. Garnish with lemon twist, if using, and serve.
