Gin & Elderflower Cocktail

July 19, 2014 By Sage 1 Comment

This gin and elderflower cocktail is another popular choice on our balcony this summer!

gin & elderflower martini recipe
1 shot gin
1 shot apple juice
2 t elderflower cordial
lime
ice

We use Tanqueray or Bombay Sapphire gin.  The botanicals in your gin will affect the taste of the cocktail, so use a good quality gin!

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.  Add the vodka, Cointreau, a shot or so of cranberry juice, and a squeeze of lime. Shake the heck out of it.  Strain it into a martini glass, top it off with a bit more cranberry juice and another squeeze of lime.  – See more at: http://www.sageandsimple.com/#sthash.yZp74OyR.dpuf

I make my own elderflower cordial, but once my homemade stash runs out, it’s available in nearly every grocery store here in Denmark.  I don’t recall ever hearing of elderflower cordial when I lived in the States, but I’ve heard it’s available at IKEA, and I suspect you might also be able to find it at Whole Foods.

I promise it’s totally worth the hassle of tracking down the cordial!

    I use an Elderflower cordial, but you can also use St. Germain too.

Once upon a time, I had the chance to move to the happiest country in the world!

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
