Elderflower Blueberry and Mint Virgin Cocktail

This non-alcoholic ‘mocktail’ is just the ticket for a warm summer’s day. Made with ingredients that most of us have in the kitchen its’s a refreshing, bubbly cocktail that goes with everything! Here’s the recipe for this super simple drink for the drivers and non-drinkers at your barbecue this bank holiday weekend.

Ingredients

• Two tablespoons (30ml) of elderflower syrup
• A handful of fresh blueberries (frozen will work just as well for this)
• Large bottle of sparkling water, or sparkling water from the Quooker Cube
• Ice
• Fresh Mint for garnish

Method

1. Pour the elderflower syrup into the glass and add the blueberries (feel free to lightly mash to release the flavour).

2. Add a handful of ice to the glass and slowly pour over the mineral water almost to the top and lightly stir to combine the cordial and water. Add mint leaves and a paper straw (if desired) and serve.

Taste Note: If you’d like to add a citrus taste add a tablespoon or two of fresh lime juice when you first pour in the elderflower cordial.
