Gin Cocktail fit for Spring

        

A great Spring martini I discovered last week combines Bombay Sapphire gin with Lillet and St Germain elderflower liqueur. 

Lillet is a French aperitif that blends white wine with orange and lemon liqueurs. It's very light and mild--not at all like the lighter fluid aperitifs, sambuca and grappa, or the herbal aperitifs, amaro and bitters. Like Lillet, Elderflower liqueur exhibits milder flavors and smells. Made from fresh picked Alpine elderflowers and elderberries, St. Germain has a light pink hue and a sweet floral nose. 

I'm not sure what parts Lillet, St Germain and gin are called for but I don't think you can go wrong with trial and error. Serve in a martini glass with a lemon rind garnish.
