- Sparkling wine or Prosecco
- Elderflower cordial (make your own with Alex's recipe)
- Mint leaves
- Sparkling water (if you fancy a longer drink)
- Lemon slices
Add some cordial to a large wine glass and top up with bubbly. Add mint leaves and a slice of lemon. Use highball glasses and top with sparkling water if you fancy a longer drink. This is perhaps best enjoyed with a view of mountains, but a picnic and your best friends would be a wonderful substitute.
Wonderful cocktail recipe, thank you. Here's the one I promised:
ReplyDeleteElderflower Martini
1 oz elderflower cordial
1 oz Bombay Sapphire gin
1 oz Cinzano dry vermouth
1/2 oz lime or apple juice
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes.
Shake until very chilled; serve immediately in a nice Martini glass!
anything with Prosecco in it gets my vote. I'll do it and run a review of it on my site. Lucy @ www.snackadvisor.com
ReplyDeleteDo tell us what you think, Lucy! I think I'm going to be trying many more local cocktails now I've tried this one. I'm not even a massive fan of elderflower, but this one is so tasty. Luckily we had places to be, or I'd have drunk too many and fallen asleep in the sun.
