Elderflower Spritzer
Northern Europeans loves elderberry flower syrup. A few teaspoons of this syrup, which is sweet, tart, and subtly flowery, are a wonderful addition to summertime cocktails and beverages. Since the sweetness is so subtle and fresh, it doesn’t overpower the drink’s other components.
Ingredients
- 1 Liter soda water, chilled
- 1/2 Cup elderberry flower syrup, chilled
- 1 Lime, juiced
- 1/3 Cup blackberries, washed
- 4 mint leaves, bruised (slap or lightly muddle)
Instructions
- Elderflower syrup, soda water, and lime juice are whisked together.
- Stir in the blackberries and crushed mint leaves.
- Serve immediately.
- Strawberries and lemon juice make a lovely addition.
