FAQs

Why do you shake martinis?

The answer is simple. Martinis are best ice cold and shaking them not only combines the ingredients, but chills them at the same time.

Can you make these ahead of time?

Absolutely! I love to make a batch of these co*cktails ahead of time so happy hour is a snap. I store them in a mason jar and then shake over ice before serving.

Why is my drink a different color?

The drink can be a different color depending on the brand of elderflower liqueur you use. St. Germain is a darker color than the Drillaud (which is one of our favorites!).
