Elderflower French 75 Recipe

Step 1: Bring the garden to your cocktail with an Elderflower French 75.
Step 2: Bring your cocktail to the garden.

We recommend using a dry Champagne to balance St-Germain’s sweetness and a botanical gin like Hendricks to bring out the floral notes of the elderflower.
