Equipment

  • Ice bucket
  • Citrus zester or peeler

Ingredients

  • 2 oz elderflower syrup
  • 4 oz sparkling water
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 lemon wheel for garnish
  • 1 sprig fresh mint for garnish
  • Optional: 2-3 cucumber slices

Instructions

  • Fill a large wine glass with ice cubes.
  • Pour 2 oz elderflower syrup into the glass.

  • Top with 4 oz sparkling water.
  • Gently stir with a bar spoon to combine ingredients.
  • Garnish with a lemon wheel and fresh mint sprig.

Notes

The elderflower syrup can be store-bought or homemade. Many grocery stores carry brands like Monin or Belvoir.
Keep ingredients cold before mixing for the best results. Warm sparkling water loses carbonation quickly.
Replace regular sparkling water with flavored versions like lime or cucumber for different taste combinations.
This recipe makes one serving. Double or triple ingredients to make a pitcher for parties.
The drink stays fizzy for about 30 minutes. Add ice and sparkling water just before serving.
