FAQs
While we love a good cocktail, not everyone wants alcohol in their drinks but still want something fun to sip on at a party.
Elderflower tonic is readily available at the stores. Simply replace the liquors with tonic and you still have a tasty drink.
Absolutely! Here are 3 of our favorites!
Rum- use plain rum or give it an extra spike of smooth citrus flavor and use Bacardi Limon Rum. One sip and you will be in love.
Gin- Looking for a drier cocktail? We are huge gin fans so gin is always a great answer. The piney flavor cuts the sweetness of the lemonade even more.
Citrus Vodka- Like things packed with citrus flavor? Amp things up with using a lemon flavored vodka. We love Absolut Citron or Stolichnaya Limon.
It's easy to do and still delicious! Simply omit the elderflower from the recipe and add a half ounce more vodka, top with club soda and enjoy!

I like to make this cocktail by boiling water in a kettle., pour into a 32 oz pitcher, add 2 lemons quartered. 1 cup of sugar, 1 tsp salt —stir and let cool. The lemonade should have a salty sweet flavor. Then when you’re ready to make the cocktail...pour 4oz, of lemonade, 1 oz white rum, and 1 oz st. Germain, into a glass and stir well with a little ice. Add a mint sprig for garnish or lemon if you prefer . It’s a beautiful refreshing drink for summer.
