Elderflower Spritzer

Light and floral, elderflower is a classic British favourite, loved for its soft and subtle sweetness. Often transformed into cordials or syrups, it’s also steeped in folklore for its potential anti-inflammatory properties—an added bonus for those who enjoy a soothing sip. In this Elderflower Spritzer, the focus is on letting those subtle floral notes shine. By choosing AquaTru purified water, you avoid any chlorine or other impurities that could dull the delicate flavour. The result is a refreshing, alcohol-free drink that’s light enough for a springtime picnic or a simple alfresco moment in the garden.

What you need:
120 ml elderflower cordial or 25ml elderflower liqueur
800 ml AquaTru purified water (chilled)
1 cucumber
1 lemon, thinly sliced (optional garnish)
A handful of fresh mint leaves (optional garnish)
A handful of ice
How to do it:
Chop the cucumber into a few chunks. You can leave the skin on, or peel the cucumber for a milder taste.
Place the cucumber in a blender or food processor along with the water and elderflower cordial.
Blend until smooth and well combined.
Strain the mixture through a sieve into a large bowl or jug.
Return the contents of the sieve to the blender and blend again until pulpy.
Strain once more into the bowl or jug with the previously collected liquid.
Add 1–2 tablespoons of the cucumber pulp back into the strained liquid, and discard the remaining pulp.
Chill the mixture in the fridge until ready to serve.
