Colchique

This drink is intended to evoke Alpine flowers in autumn, but I'm going to make it for spring anyway. After all, floral notes are more in vogue in the spring and richer spices are called for in fall. For this drink I got to use St. Germain elderflower liqueur and a dash of orange blossom water, both of which have a potent blossom aroma. I also used the last of my bottle of Machu Pisco, a fitting end to a terrific run of grape spirit drinks.
  • 2 1/2 oz. pisco
  • 1/2 oz. orange juice
  • 1/2 oz. grapefruit juice
  • 1/4 oz. lemon juice
  • dash orange blossom water
  • orange twist
Combine all ingredients except twist in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled coup or cocktail glass (coup shown). Garnish with orange twist.
