Substitute
Can’t find elderflower liqueur? No problem. There are easy swaps to make this punch just as tasty.
- Elderflower syrup
- Elderflower cordial
- Floral honey
These give a similar sweet, floral flavor. Use the same amount as you would elderflower liqueur.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace the Prosecco with:
- Sparkling white grape juice
- Sparkling apple cider
- Lemon-lime soda
These bubbly drinks keep the fizzy texture. Mix them with elderflower syrup for flavor.
No fresh fruit on hand? Use frozen berries or sliced peaches instead. They’ll cool the drink as they thaw.
Don’t have fresh herbs? Skip them or use dried mint.
A little goes a long way, so start with just a pinch.
