FOOD + ENTERTAINING ELDERFLOWER CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL Serves 8 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 seltzer water, chilled 1 cup sliced strawberries In a large pitcher, combine all of the ingredients and stir. Add ice. Pour into glasses filled with ice and scoop 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. SPRING 2018 63
