Elderflower French 75

Edible flowers are no longer just a pretty garnish. They can be used to infuse cocktails, teas, and desserts, to name a few of the possibilities. The French, Austrians, and Central Europeans produce an extract from the elderflower blossom, which in turn can be made into a liqueur.

Elderflower French 75 is one of our favorite cocktails to make with it, and it’s as cool as the name sounds.
