Homemade Elderflower Gin Fizz

Ingredients:

Makes 4

10 cups sugar

1 lemon

10 elderflower heads

1 1/2 oz. citric acid

5 oz. gin

3 tablespoons lemon juice

sparkling water

lemon slices for garnish

fresh elderflower for garnish

Preparation

1. To make homemade elderflower cordial, place the sugar in a saucepan with about 6 cups of water. Heat the mixture to a slight boil until the sugar dissolves. Then reduce heat to low.

2. Peel the skin off 1 lemon and then cut the lemon into slices. Add both the lemon peel and lemon slices into the saucepan.

3. Now take your elderflower and gently rinse them off. Then add the elderflower to the sugar mixture.

4. Now add the citric acid to the mixture. Stir to combine.

5. Let the mixture sit for 24 hours to infuse.

6. Once infused, take a strainer and line it with a cheesecloth. Then discard what is left in the cheesecloth. Now you can store your homemade elderflower cordial in sealed glass jars (this will make 8 cups of elderflower cordial).

7. Now to make the cocktails mix together 1/2 cup of the elderflower cordial, gin, lemon juice, and lemon slices in a pitcher with ice.

8. Top with sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.

9. Pour into 6 serving glasses and garnish each one with a lemon slice and a fresh elderflower.
