A classic vodka tonic pales in comparison to this cocktail. The elderflower tonic, lemon sorbet and citrus garnishes elevate this cocktail beyond the bar staple into a drink that’s delicately sweet, slightly tangy and truly decadent.

Ingredients

2 oz Azzurre Vodka

5 oz Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic Water

1 scoop of lemon sorbet

Sprig of thyme, lemon slice, lime slice and kumquat slices for garnish

Method

Build the drink over ice in a 14-ounce stemmed wine glass. Serve with a scoop of lemon sorbet, and garnish with a thyme sprig and lemon, lime and kumquat slices.
