    📕 What is Elderflower?

    Elderflowers are cream colored small blossoms growing in bunches on a bush before turning into elderberries.

    The blossoms of the elderflower are turned into a syrup or so-called elderflower cordial.

    Elderflowers are known to have cooling properties and taste exceptional, which I can hardly describe, but as a bouquet of spring flowers.

    🆚 Elderflower syrup vs St.Germain liqueur

    Some elderflower cocktails are prepared with elderflower liqueur, which is a more recent invention known as St Germain.

    In my recipe, you will use elderflower cordial aka elderflower syrup and not the St Germain liqueur

    Hence why this cocktail recipe with elderflower is not a St Germain cocktail.

    Today's elderflower cocktail is prepared with gin, tonic and lemon juice making it a light, crystal clear well balanced sparkling cocktail.

    🔪 How to make it?

    My Elderflower cocktail with lemon and gin is made with this elderflower syrup.

    That way the flavors are easily mixed into the cocktail and you don't need to add any sugar.

    Follow the simple steps to prepare this cocktail and find the complete recipe with ingredients and instructions further below.

    Step 1

    Combine the elderflower syrup with the lemon juice and gin in a shaker.

    Step 2

    Shake everything well until well combined.

    Pour your elderflower cocktail in a glass.

    Step 3

    Top up with tonic water (I like to use Fever Tree or Schweppes).

    Serve with plenty of ice cubes a slice of lemon and elderflower blossoms if you get some.

    🥂 Serving

    This gin tonic cocktail with elderflower flavors is great at a garden BBQ party or a hot summer soiree.

    Elderflower cordial is known to cool you down and is great refreshment in the hot summer months.
