Elderflower Gin Tonic Cocktail Recipe

Equipment
- A cocktail shaker is important for mixing the ingredients well.
- If one isnโt handy, a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid works fine.
- A jigger or any measuring tool helps get the right proportions.
- Also needed are a highball glass for serving and a spoon for stirring.
- Don't forget a strainer if using the shaker! ๐น
