A Modern Twist on a Classic – The First Whisper

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.
