Peach Elderflower Sundown

Peach and elderflower give this a soft, fragrant sweetness, with lemon supplying the contrast. Because cordial is concentrated, the measured amount matters more than it might seem. Press ripe peach into the still ingredients, then add sparkling water gently. You should be able to notice the peach as fruit, rather than only a floral syrup flavor. A little extra lemon can sharpen it, but taste first so the delicate fruit doesn’t disappear.

Ingredients

• 5 oz Sparkling water
• 1/4 cup Peach slices
• 1/2 oz Elderflower cordial
• 1/2 oz Lemon juice

Make it

1. Add any fruit, herbs, spices, or syrup to a glass and gently press to release flavor.
2. Add the still liquids and ice. Stir to combine.
3. Pour in the sparkling ingredient slowly and stir once. Serve immediately.
