Crafting the Elixir
At the core of the Spring Blossom Martini is Felene Vodka, meticulously distilled to achieve a smooth, refined flavor that sets the stage for a masterpiece of mixology. To this, we introduce the enchanting flavors of elderflower liqueur, adding a layer of sweet, floral notes that evoke the gentle fragrance of spring meadows. A splash of fresh lemon juice brings a zestful brightness, cutting through the sweetness with its citrusy spark, reminiscent of the first rays of sunshine piercing through the morning dew.
To complete the potion, a hint of grapefruit juice is added, providing a subtle bitterness that contrasts beautifully with the overall sweetness, like the fleeting chill of dawn before the day warms up. The addition of a homemade lavender syrup infuses the martini with a calming aroma and a touch of spring’s serene beauty, making each sip a soothing escape to a tranquil garden.
