Delicate, floral and intensely aromatic, the elderflower cocktail has become a modern aperitif staple. Long associated with elderflower liqueur, it is now reinvented as an alcohol-free cocktail, lighter in calories, but just as sophisticated.
Elderflower seduces with its subtle, slightly honeyed profile, which pairs perfectly with lime, mint, sparkling water or tonic. In the alcohol-free version, elderflower syrup or elderberry syrup is preferred to create a perfect balance between freshness and aromatic intensity.
Ideal as an alcohol-free aperitif, the elderflower cocktail offers a true floral interlude. Served in a large glass filled with ice, it becomes an elegant alternative to classics like the Hugo Spritz cocktail, without compromising on taste or experience.
Whether you are looking for a refined recipe for your guests or simply curious to vary your consumption, these alcohol-free creations prove that it is possible to combine pleasure, sophistication and moderation.
In a short drink glass, pour BTTR No. 1, add the elderflower syrup, non-alcoholic prosecco, and then the tonic water. Add ice cubes and stir gently with a bar spoon.
In a long drink glass, pour the elderflower syrup, add the sparkling water, and then JNPR No. 1. Add the ice cubes and stir gently for a few minutes. Add a sprig of rosemary for decoration, or an elderflower, or a beautiful edible flower if the season is right.
