Absolutely! I love to make a batch of these cocktails ahead of time so happy hour is a snap. I store them in a mason jar and then shake over ice before serving.
The drink can be a different color depending on the brand of elderflower liqueur you use. St. Germain is a darker color than the Drillaud (which is one of our favorites!).
