Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons elderflower syrup or cordial
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 cup sparkling water cold
- ice cubes enough to fill glass
- fresh mint sprigs for garnish
- lime wedge or slice for garnish
- fresh raspberries optional, for color and flavor
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass almost all the way with ice cubes.
- Pour in elderflower syrup and fresh lime juice over the ice.
- Top off with cold sparkling water, pouring slowly to preserve bubbles.
- Stir gently with a long spoon to mix.

- If using homemade elderflower syrup, strain as you pour.
Notes
Store-bought or homemade elderflower syrup both work. For less sweetness, add extra lime or sparkling water. Fresh mint is a must for aroma. Try raspberries or cucumber for extra flavor and color. Serve very cold for max refreshment.
