15 minutes

The Elixir of Four Thieves is a mysterious drink rooted in medieval France. According to legend, it was created by four thieves during the plague epidemic to protect themselves from illness. The combination of blueberry shrub, nectars, and liqueurs with rum gives the drink a rich berry flavor with warm spicy notes. Mint leaves add freshness while lemon juice balances the sweetness. This elixir is perfect as an evening cocktail, offering a refined sweet-and-sour flavor profile and a light bitterness. Served chilled and garnished with a sprig of mint, it captivates with its aroma and deep ruby color. It can be enjoyed in a cozy atmosphere, immersing oneself in the mystery of its history while savoring the complexity of its layered taste.
