Kiwi Elderflower Evening

Kiwi and elderflower make a sweet-tart combination, with lime sharpening the fruit and sparkling water keeping the cordial light. Mash the kiwi first so its juice actually joins the drink; the tiny seeds can stay as part of the texture. Add cordial carefully because it carries sweetness as well as fragrance. You want a fresh kiwi fizz with a floral note, not a sweet elderflower drink in which the fruit is difficult to find.

Benefits

Kiwi · a little vitamin C

With kiwi beside elderflower cordial and lime, this glass offers a little vitamin C for protecting cells from oxidative damage.

Make room for lime

Lime gives the kiwi and elderflower cordial a lively citrus tang—an aromatic pairing to serve freshly mixed, while the bubbles are lively.
