Elderflower Champagne Cocktail
This elderflower champagne cocktail is just 3 ingredients and comes out so light and fresh and bubbly! It’s perfect for sipping with friends on a warm spring or summer day.
Yield: 10 -12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bottle brut rose champagne, chilled
- 3 cups club soda or sparkling water, chilled
- 1 cup elderflower liqueur (such as St. Germain)
Instructions
- Pour all ingredients slowly into a large pitcher. Stir gently to combine (it will fizz and you don’t want to disrupt the bubbles too much).
- Pour the drink into wine glasses filled with ice.
- Top with sliced fruit or edible flowers, if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
Bubbly: I use a brut rose champagne for this drink. You could substitute a Prosecco or other type of bubbly, but the rose adds the pretty color, so I recommend using that.
Brut: This adds just the right amount of sweetness. You could also use an extra dry, which, despite the name, actually has more residual sugar than brut and is a bit sweeter.
Elderflower liqueur: I use and love St. Germain’s, but any good quality brand will work.
Garnishes: Have fun with any sliced fruit or edible flowers you’d like to use to garnish this drink. I happen to think the strawberries go great and complement the flavors - and color - well.
Ice cubes: You’ll want to serve this over ice. You could also make fun ice cubes with sliced fruit or edible flowers frozen right in them.
Serve immediately. The bubbly will go flat after the drink has sat for a while, so it’s best to make it when you are ready to serve it up.
