I love elderflower martinis - with a passion. But, I'm not afraid to admit they get the best of me at times. Obviously, the elderflower water isn't to blame, so I found another way to enjoy it...responsibly. The elderflower water becomes an alternative to lemonade in a shandy, with its faint hit of citrus and mellow, sweet flavor. Add just a bit of club soda to give it a summer-y fizz, and you've got a light and refreshing barely-cocktail perfect for imbibing on a patio with some friends. That is, if they'll forgive you for the way you acted the last time you had elderflower-infused adult beverages. Not that I would know anything about that...
Ingredients:
1/3 c. Lager (Two shots)
2/3 c. Belvoir Fruit Farms Elderflower Presse( Four shots)
1/3 c. Club soda (Two shots)
Ice cubes
Sprigs of fresh lemon thyme for garnish
Instructions:
In a shaker with ice, add the ale, elderflower water, and club soda. Shake vigorously and strain into a high ball glass filled with ice. Top the shandy with a few sprigs of fresh lemon thyme for garnish - and so you can inhale its wonderful, citrusy scent as you go in for each sip.
