Elisir d’Elicriso
from Your Mayfair
expertise to create a cocktail with a strong narrative from the Tuscan roots he shares with the House. Nodding to the aromatic gardens of Tuscany, Elisir d’Elicriso is the perfect celebration of Italy.
Elisir d’Elicriso has a rich, herbal, and round profile coming from Mediterranean botanicals and apothecary herbs of the Tuscan coast, blended with vetiver, and the essential oil “Elicriso” (helichrysum italicum) - from which the cocktail takes its distinctive name. A preponderance of vermouth and plant-based liqueurs, such as Podere Santa Bianca Liquore no.4 and the Vetiver liqueur, are combined with London Dry Gin, white balsamic vinegar, and a touch of Tenuta San Guido wine, which adds freshness, complexity, and a slight acidity to balance the herbaceous profile of the drink. Helichrysum essential oil contributes to the characteristic botanical aroma as well as to the viscosity of the cocktail. The cocktail can be served in a number of ways according to personal taste - thus reflecting Bargiani’s dedication to personalised cocktail experiences. It can be enjoyed as-is in a cooled Martini cocktail glass, or chilled on the rocks, as a spritz-style cocktail adding bubbles for a refreshing and sparkling cocktail, or as a long drink by adding soda or tonic water.
