Elderflower French 75 Recipe

When I’m out on the town, one of my favourite drinks to order is an Elderflower French 75. If you haven’t had one before and are a fan of bubbly, you’ll love it! It’s a sweet gin cocktail made with fresh-squeezed lemon juice and elderflower liqueur, topped with bubbles.

So when my bestie Alex (from Alex and Tribe) and I were chatting about teaming up to produce fun cocktail recipes this summer, I knew the Elderflower French 75 would be a great way to start. Plus, if I’m always ordering it out at restaurants, why not perfect it at home!

This year I even whipped it up to celebrate over the Christmas season!

You’ll need:

The ingredients used for making a Elderflower French 75 include fresh-squeezed lemons, gin, elderflower liqueur and prosecco

Directions:

Mix gin, elderflower liqueur and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker. Pour into a Champagne flute or coupe and top with chilled prosecco.

Full disclosure: we enjoy a spirit-forward beverage. If you prefer a milder drink, cut the gin and elderflower liqueur in half and top with extra prosecco.
