The French Tart belongs to the Sour family of cocktails, characterized by its tart and refreshing profile. While its exact origin is unknown, its combination of vodka, elderflower liqueur, and citrus juices points to a modern creation inspired by classic sour recipes like the Whiskey Sour.
The French Tart is a delightful blend of sweet and tart flavors. Vodka provides a clean canvas, while elderflower liqueur adds a floral sweetness. Grapefruit juice brings a bright citrus tang, balanced by the lime juice’s sharper acidity. A touch of simple syrup rounds out the sweetness, creating a harmonious and refreshing cocktail with a bright, citrusy finish.
To make a perfect French Tart, ensure your grapefruit juice is freshly squeezed for the best flavor. Use a good quality elderflower liqueur for a floral aroma. Don’t over-shake the cocktail, as it can become cloudy. Finally, adjust the simple syrup to your desired sweetness level.
