It’s summer, so make yourself a sunflower cocktail

One of the classics of the cocktail canon is the Corpse Reviver No. 2, a combination of gin, Lillet Blanc

. But while many cocktail enthusiasts know this drink well and often order it at bars, there are also many variations on this well-known choice that are worth trying out as well.

For the summer, one delightful but lesser-known choice is the Sunflower. This version of the Corpse Reviver uses elderflower liqueur to add a sweet

It also uses a tiny dash of absinthe to add a complex, anise note that lingers as a finish.

To add the little small tang of absinthe, you only need a very small amount as absinthe is a very powerful flavor

Instead of adding absinthe directly into the mixture, you add a little amount to the glass. To do this, take your coupe glass and pour in around 5 ml of absinthe.

This leaves a small amount of absinthe to add a hint of flavor.
