Ingredients
Method
- Add ice to cups to taste. Fill glasses halfway with ginger ale, then the same amount of apple juice. Add elderflower to taste--I recommend half a pump to one pump for small cups and two for larger ones. Stir with a spoon to incorporate the syrup, then serve!
Notes
Leftovers: You can mix the apple and elderflower together before serving, but don't add the ginger ale until the last minute or it'll lose its fizz!
Ginger ale: I like this best for its mild flavor. If you want to really focus on the apple, use sparkling water. If you want to play up elderflower’s citrus notes, use Sprite, 7-Up, or another lemon-lime soda.
Apple juice: Use the good, thick, cloudy apple juice from the refrigerated section. I use this one.
Elderflower syrup: I used this one because it was the most readily available. Don’t be scared off by its size—drink syrups last for a very long time and it’s nice to have them on hand to jazz up an otherwise boring soda or sparkling water.
