There’s something magical about a cocktail that tells a story. Just like The Last Word, this modern invention, The First Whisper, takes inspiration from timeless classics but adds a fresh, floral twist that’s perfect for today’s refined palate. Whether you're hosting a gathering or enjoying a quiet evening, this cocktail will be the elegant beginning to any memorable night.
Before we begin, here’s what you’ll need to make The First Whisper:
50ml of vodka
15ml of elderflower liqueur
20ml of lemon juice
15ml of crème de violette
Ice
Edible flowers or a lemon twist for garnish
You’ll want to measure these ingredients precisely using our Cocktail Mixology Kit.
Step 1: Add the vodka, elderflower liqueur, crème de violette, and fresh lemon juice into your cocktail shaker. Top it off with ice, close the lid, and shake for about 45 seconds – or until the shaker gets too cold to hold.
Step 2: Strain your cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Then, elevate it: garnish with a lemon twist or float a small edible flower on top. It’s a quiet showstopper – perfect for a photo or just a personal moment of delight.
Surround yourself with good company or your favorite playlist and sip slowly. After all, every conversation has to start somewhere – and tonight, let it begin with The First Whisper.
