"Mariko" is a refreshing cocktail based on the delicate balance of French Lillet Blanc and subtle berry notes. In a shaker, combine 80 ml Lillet Blanc, 1 ml orange bitter and 10 ml Monin elderflower syrup. After adding 60 g of ice, stir quickly but gently to chill the drink without excessive dilution. Then pour the cocktail into a glass filled with ice cubes and top up with 100 ml of soda water.
The taste of "Mariko" opens with the floral aroma of Lillet Blanc with a slight bitterness of orange bitter, which smoothly transitions into the sweet honey tenderness of elderflower. Blackberries and raspberries bring a pleasant acidity and fruity complexity, while orange zest adds a citrus accent and enhances the aromatic bouquet.
The result is a light, sparkling drink with a soft texture. Soda water provides refreshing carbonation, emphasizing the harmonious combination of French elegance of Lillet Blanc and bright summer berries. "Mariko" is a delicate cocktail for those who appreciate refined taste and a gentle floral aroma.
