This drink is bright and elegant, with layers of floral and citrus.

I don't drink often, but when I do I like a glass of red wine or a quality cocktail. This Elderflower Gin Sour is fun, refreshing and the perfect Friday night sipper.

Elderflowers are usually ready late May to mid-June and are best picked when the buds are freshly open on a dry, sunny day. The blossoms can be saved and be used in baked goods or to be infused into spirits, syrups and cordials.

But, do your research before foraging and take someone knowledgeable with you as not all parts of the elderflower plant are edible!
