Spring has sprung - Elderflower berry Collins
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 10 raspberries
- 10 blueberries
- 1 ¾ fl oz (50ml) elderflower cordial I used Bottlegreen
- 4 fl oz (100ml) gin
- Juice of half a lemon
- 2 tbsp grenadine or strawberry syrup
- 1 tbsp sugar syrup
- Soda water
Instructions
- Put the berries, cordial, lemon juice, grenadine and sugar syrup in your cocktail shaker (or a large glass) and crush with the end of a clean rolling pin.
- Add the gin and stir.
- Share the cocktail mix between 2 highball (tall) glasses. Half fill the glasses with cracked ice and top up with soda water.
- Stir very thoroughly, decorate with a couple extra raspberries and serve.
Notes
Instead of muddling the berries put 3 1/2 oz (100g) frozen mixed berries in a jar and cover with gin. Leave to infuse in the fridge for a day and then use.
