I have not been able to find the original root of the name – although it has been featured in Mr. Boston Official Bartender’s Guide for some time.

This is vodka, elderflower liqueur, aperol, lemon juice and sugar syrup. The right way to serve is with a orange peel for garnish but I did not have any oranges handy.

The drink itself is strong with the sweet fragrance of elderflower on the nose and a bit bitter sweet to the palate.
