Happy Friday!
Grab you limes and come with me!
Today is all about Elderflower liquor and limes. They are the perfect balance for one another. I made you three drinks that are sure to please!
I’m a huge fan of a good margarita and this cocktail recipe is one for the books! The Elderflower adds the perfect sweetness balanced by the lime juice and 1800 Blanco tequila. Which by the way, is my favorite tequila always.
what you do:
This one is super easy! Run a lime around your rim and dip it in salt. Then just add everything to a cocktail shaker and pour into a coupe glass for some added fancy. Garnish with lime and sip away! Typically you’d pour over ice but in this case I didn’t because I didn’t want it to get watered down.
Next up is an enhanced Mojito! This drink is perfect for warm Spring days.
what you do:
Grab a glass! Throw in about 10 ten mint leaves, the sugar (I used Stevia), and lime juice. Muddle those and top with ice. Then add your rum and St. Germain. Top with Elderflower tonic water (I like the brand Fever-Tree). To finish garnish with lime and mint leaves.
I saved the best for last! This was my favorite out of the three. Just the perfect combination of flavors.
what you do:
Slice three long ribbons of cucumber, throw two into your shaker, and line one around your glass and fill glass with ice. Add lime juice to shaker and muddle the cucumber. Add ice to shaker and throw in St. Germain and Gin (I like Hendricks). Shake, shake, shake! Strain into the glass and top with Elderflower tonic water. Garnish with lime.
An Elderflower liquor is great to have in your liquor collection. It might not be cheap but you’ll most likely have it for a good while. I’ve always used St. Germain. So next time you head to grab some booze, grab a bottle of this chic liquor!
