Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Use cold ingredients, not just ice. Chill the apple juice, elderflower liqueur, and sparkling element ahead of time to minimise dilution and maintain carbonation.
Preparation Tip 2
When using tonic instead of soda or sparkling wine, decrease the elderflower liqueur a bit to avoid the drink becoming too bitter.
