  • Coupe or martini glass
  • Fine strainer (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 ounces Gin
  • 1 ounce Elderflower liqueur (like St. Germain)

  • 1/2 ounce Lemon juice
  • Gold sugar rim or edible glitter (optional) but why not?
  • Lemon twist for garnish

Instructions
 

  • (Optional): Rim your chilled martini glass with gold sugar or dust the rim with edible glitter. Because why not? You're Brewster now.

  • Shake until well chilled and strain into the prepared glass.
  • Garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

Why It Works:

This upscale twist on a martini walks the line between classic wealth and new-money flare, just like Monty Brewster does. The elderflower gives it floral extravagance, while the gold-rimmed glass screams unnecessary spending. A little rich, a little ridiculous, and a lot of fun.
