Our Tips for Making the Perfect Elderflower Fizz

Use a quality elderflower cordial – The better the cordial, the brighter the flavour. Look for one with natural ingredients.

Fresh lemon juice only – It balances the sweetness and keeps the drink crisp.

Don’t overshake – Ten seconds is enough; you’re chilling, not diluting.

Chill your prosecco first – Ice-cold prosecco ensures a clean sparkle without excess fizz.

Garnish thoughtfully – A twist of lemon adds sharpness, while a dehydrated strawberry brings subtle sweetness and a visual touch of summer.
