editor recipe notes
I really love this drink. It is floral, lightly citrusy, well-balanced, and very refreshing. The Helmut Sour uses the “Helmut der Weisse,” which is a Bianco-style vermouth. You just mix it with some store-bought elderflower syrup, and some lemon, and that’s it =)
It’s a good alternative if someone is asking for a Hugo cocktail. And it makes me always proud if a guest really likes this drink =)
