I’m having a love affair with elderflower this summer…I’ve become quite obsessed (as evidenced here). Delicate + refreshing, it can be imbibed in many fabulous ways-it pairs well with champagne, white wine, and also makes an amazing non-alcoholic spritzer. I must thank Terrain for introducing me to elderflower + for this perfect summer cocktail! What is your favorite thing to drink this time of year? Please share details!
6 oz. elderflower presse + 1 tbs. rose syrup + 1 oz. vodka
shake vigorously in cocktail shaker, garnish with rose petals
Elderflower is so refreshing – I love it .(I used to hate it when my gran gave it to me when I was a little boy!)
Yes, so refreshing–I thought of you actually because I know it’s big in the UK (that presse is a UK company). Funny you should mention having it as a boy ;)
I loved our trip to Terrain!!! And I simply MUST get my hands on some Elderflower one of these days.
Can’t wait to see you again next week! :)
Yes, so much fun Melanie…looking forward to seeing you soon too!
You know, I’ve never had it! *shame face*. Give me a cold glass of rosé and I’m a happy gal.
Oh you would love it Lindsey..I’m a big fan of rosé as well!
This was my brother’s favorite summertime cocktail:

I’ve been meaning to try St. Germain Karen, thanks for sharing! Sounds delicious.
