The "Flower Drop" is an elderflower liqueur-based cocktail that is easily in my personal top 3 ever. The delightful drink has sweet and savory notes and is rather easy to recreate at home.
Where I found it
I found the Flower Drop at the Amsterdam Billiards Club in Manhattan NYC. Thanks to Hayley, Sascha, and Eric for the opportunity to try it!

Add 3oz Elderflower liqueur and 2oz vodka to a stirring glass with either 0.5oz lime juice and 0.5oz simple syrup or 1oz sweet and sour mix. Tear up 1-2 basil leaves and add to the glass with ice. Add one dash of bitters and stir for up to 30 seconds. Strain through a julep strainer into a glass over ice as desired. Splash with 1-3 more dashes of bitters to taste.
