Squid Mixes: Monarch Martini



A monarch martini combines mint leaves, gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, simple syrup and peach bitters.  I got my recipe from Difford's Guide.  

Each of the ingredients smells amazing, which makes for an awfully good start.  Everything has a voice and the peach, especially, comes through nicely.  It's a very nice drink.

      It's possible you've seen it on the shelves without realizing what it was. Both St. Germain and St. Elder are elderflower liqueurs.

      Lovely stuff - kind of like lychee in flavor.

    I wouldn't know where to go to find those ingredients! Sounds like an interesting drink.
