Sipping on this refreshing elderflower grapefruit mocktail will make you wonder if you really miss the alcohol! Why mess with perfection!

Elderflower Cocktail

Elderflower cocktails are so simple to make! Just put a splash of the elderflower cordial in juice, cranberry, orange juice, pineapple juice or grapefruit juice. Omit the alcohol. Add a sprig of fresh lemon thyme. Mix. Add ice. And, you have a most glorious beautiful mocktail!

Elderflower Drinks

So many drinks both non-alcoholic and alcoholic can be made with elderflower. There’s elderflower lacquer and elderflower syrup or cordial. So, what’s the difference?

Elderflower Syrup

According to Ask the Chef:

“The term elderflower cordial and elderflower syrup are interchangeable and are typically used to describe the same thing: a sweetened elderflower extract.” Elderflower syrup and elderflower cordial are made with elderflowers infused in a simple syrup with fresh lemon zest.

Elderflower Recipe

Ever since Megan and Harry served elderflower cocktails at their royal wedding, the demand for elderflower recipes have exploded!

Cordial Elderflower

Norm’s Farm says that “The term elderflower cordial and elderflower syrup are interchangeable and are typically used to describe the same thing: a sweetened elderflower extract.”

To me, the cordial elderflower is what I imagine smelling a bouquet of flowers in heaven.

Red Ruby Grapefruit Cocktail

I love red ruby grapefruit juice. And, I love to use it in cocktails. In fact. I’ve created many alcoholic cocktails using ruby red or red ruby.

Refreshing Mocktail

I sure hope you’ll try this refreshing mocktail! And, as you see I’ve frozen fresh cranberries and put in it, too. Just for a pop of color. And, of course, it keeps your drink chilled a little longer. You could use fresh frozen blueberries or any small frozen fruit. Even if it’s not small, you could chop smaller pieces, like beautiful peach slices sliced into bite size pieces.
