Elderflower Fizz

Well, hello stranger!

It’s been forever, I know, and I have missed you so! A mixture of being away, losing my routine and not eating particularly well has led to my being a bad food blogger. *slaps wrist*

It feels good to be back, though. I’m looking forward to dusting off my cook books and getting creative again, especially with the darker nights coming in (you know I love my comfort food).

But there’s still a few days of summer left yet! With today’s post, I’m going to ease myself back in with a lovely Mocktail recipe you can maybe enjoy in the garden, before the air gets too cold!

Since becoming teetotal in January, I’ve been on the hunt for good mocktail recipes. When I was sent this bottle of Elderflower Cordial to review, I done a quick google search and came across this gorgeous Elderflower Fizz recipe from the Netmums website.

This is one seriously refreshing drink. And really easy to make. Into one glass, add:

• Plenty of ice
• 25ml elderflower cordial
• 5 fresh mint leaves, chopped
• Sparkling water (topped right up)
• 1 lime wedge

I like to bash the chopped mint against the ice with my straw, to bruise it a bit more and ring the flavour out of it.

You could add a splash of gin/vodka to it, if you feel so inclined!
