Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove 8 thin strips of zest from the lemon and set aside. Thinly slice the lemon and place in a small saucepan with the sugar and 1/3 cup water. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Let cool and strain the syrup.
- Rub a strip of zest along the rim of each of eight martini glasses and place it in the bottom as a garnish. Combine the gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon zest, and ice in a measuring cup or pitcher and stir until the drink is completely chilled. Remove any undissolved ice or strain the cocktail into the prepared glasses. Serve chilled.
Note
Use a neutral-flavored gin so it doesn't overpower the floral notes of the elderflower liqueur.
