Cuzko Fizz

By sdubbs

When a pristine cocktail is poured in a glass and no one is around to drink it, does that mean you can?

Step up your happy hour with a light, fragrant elderflower blossom cocktail or two. The latest thing to whet our collective whistle, this little beauty was dreamed up by Freemans’s bartender Lynnette Marrero.

Ingredients

• 4-5 green grapes
• 2 oz. pisco

• 1 oz. St-Germain (a slightly sweet liqueur made from blossoms handpicked in the French Alps and transported by bicycle — for real).
• Club soda (optional)

Step 1

1. Muddle green grapes in the base of a shaker.
2. Add pisco, lime juice, St-Germain, and ice.
