Orange And Elderflower Spritzer Mocktail Recipes

ELDERFLOWER SPRITZ

Steps:

• Fill a tumbler with ice, then pour over the elderflower liqueur.
• Add the gin and prosecco, then top up with soda water and garnish with lime slices to serve.

ORANGE & CRANBERRY SPRITZ

Steps:

• Mix together orange juice and cranberry juice in a large jug. Slowly pour in the sparkling elderflower drink, as it will fizz up. Mix together and serve in tall glasses with ice.

CUCUMBER & ELDERFLOWER SPRITZER

Steps:

• Chop the cucumber into a few chunks, then put in a blender or food processor with the wine and elderflower cordial. Whizz until well blended, then pour through a sieve set over a large bowl or jug. Tip the contents of the sieve back into the machine, whizz again until pulpy, then sieve again into the liquid already collected. Add 1-2 tbsp of the cucumber pulp from the sieve into the liquid and discard the rest. Chill until ready to serve.
• To serve, fill glasses with a few ice cubes and some mint leaves. Pour in enough cucumber base to come halfway up the glass, then top up with soda water.

ORANGE AND ELDERFLOWER SPRITZER (MOCKTAIL)

Steps:

• Stir orange juice, mineral water, elderflower syrup and juice of one half lime slice together.
• Pour over ice into a glass.
• Taste and adjust for correct flavor.
• Garnish with the other lime slice, (fresh elderflower blossoms, mint or lemon verbena if desired) and enjoy!
• Note: I used juice of one medium orange, about 3-4 ounces of mineral water and about scant 1/4 cup of elderflower syrup. Find a balance of flavor you prefer. This wasn't an exact science. Lastly, I think it would be interesting to play around with other citrus-grapefruit comes first to mind -- .
