Let the Games begin! Who else is watching the Opening Ceremony?!

Since the Olympic cauldron is about to be lit, I thought I’d try to do the same with a cocktail — just without the flaming arrow!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 oz gin

  • 1 oz elderflower liqueur

  • 1/2 oz lemon juice

  • Sparkling wine

METHOD:

Add gin, elderflower liqueur and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Add ice, then shake until chilled.

Strain into a coupe glass, then top with sparkling wine.

To set the cocktail on fire, place a sugar cube inside a squeezed lemon half. Add some high proof liquor on top before lighting.
