Elderflower Cocktail

Eldeflower Cocktail

There’s a new favorite bottle in my liquor cabinet and it’s already half gone. Recently I was turned on to St. Elder and haven’t looked back since. The liqueur is very sweet with a natural citrus grapefruit flavor to it. It goes great with just about anything.

Using vodka, simple syrup, and orange juice highlights the St. Elder without overpowering or changing the flavor too much. It’s a great first introduction drink or drink to serve to old fans. Leave out the simple syrup for a less-sweet drink.

For some reason when I made these I was out of ice, so instead used frozen berries to cool the drink down. I think they also make the presentation better and pair well with the elderflower which tastes fruity on its own. Shake up the recipe by using a flavored vodka.
