Elderflower Collins

Description

What works about Elderflower Collins is the contrast between familiar cocktail logic and a more individual flavour combination. The recipe combines Gin, Elderflower Liqueur, lemon juice, Sugar syrup, and Soda Water. Bubbles keep the serve open and refreshing, so the richer or sweeter elements stay light on the palate.

It fits naturally into aperitif hour, garden drinks, parties or any round where you want flavour without a heavy finish. Use fresh ice and serve promptly so the texture and aroma arrive at their best.
