Elderflower & lemon cider spritz

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Drinks
This drink is the meeting of Anglo-Saxon cider culture and Central European elderflower cordial tradition. The fermented apple base of cider carries the volatile aromas of elderflower excellently, whilst the acidity of lemon 'cuts' the sweetness, making the sip crisp and refreshing. Ideal summer cooler, where carbonation bubbles help release fragrances.

Instructions

1 ✓

Fill glasses with ice.

Tip: Ice cools the glass, keeping the drink fresh longer.
2 ✓

In a jug, mix the lemon juice and elderflower cordial.

Tip: This is the 'syrup base'. If you mix this first, it distributes easier in the carbonated cider without needing much stirring (which would knock out the fizz).
3 ✓

Top up with cold cider and gently fold over.

Tip: Carefully only! Carbonation is the carrier of freshness, don't stir it out.
4 ✓

Pour the drink into icy glasses and garnish with lemon.

Tip: Garnish is not just visual: lemon zest scent is the first impression when drinking.
