ELDERFLOWER CHAMPAGNE
COCKTAIL

1 (750 ml) bottle Brut Champagne
or dry sparkling wine, chilled
1 cup of elderflower liqueur,
like St-Germain
1 (12-ounce) can of club soda or

a few strawberries into each glass.
Recipe from Maureen Petrosky, Kitchn
NOTES
The recipe can be made without the club soda but cut the elderflower liqueur by ¼ cup.
The strawberries can be removed completely, or you can substitute other fresh berries,
sliced peaches or other fresh fruit. We used lemons and limes.
To make just one cocktail, combine 1 ounce of elderflower liqueur and 3 ounces of chilled
Champagne with a few sliced strawberries.
