11/21/2023 0 Comments Summer breeze cocktail![]() Rose petals, cranberries or a slice of apple garnish You will need a cocktail shaker and a good sized tumblerĢ5ml elderflower liqueur or cordial if you can’t find the liqueur That said, Clyde loved this drink as much as I did, so it’s certainly not for ladies only. Such a girly treat is a rare sight in our house. Coated peanuts are a must have for me I’m afraid. Sip and enjoy this light, refreshing Friday Cocktail. Garnish with dried rose petals if you have them, or an apple sliver or berries. Pour in the apple juice, I had clear, but cloudy works beautifully, and then the cranberry juice.įinally, shake this colourful creation until super chilled then pour into a tumbler, over more ice. Next to join the ice in the shaker is the large shot of vodka and the smaller one of elderflower liqueur. Make a start, as we do most weeks with ice in a cocktail shaker. Vodka making it’s second appearance this month, but no one ever tires of vodka, do they? It has such a fragrant summer feel and features in plenty of my cocktails, so it’s worth stocking up. It’s that time of the year when I need to nip off and buy another bottle of elderflower liqueur. I would say in the garden, or at least with the back door open, but the forecast is fairly woeful for the weekend, so I won’t mention it again to jinx it further *I’ve jinxed it*. This is definitely the perfect sipping cocktail, just right for a Friday evening with your feet up. ![]() You could happily use a sliver of apple or a skewer of berries if you’d prefer. I chose the untraditional garnish of rose petals for this drink, just because I had a pretty jar of them to hand. To add to the multitude of benefits this cocktail has, it is a beautiful, delicate pink colour. Add in the cranberry and apple juices and this flavourful drink surely contains one of your five a day. The additional of almost the last of my Elderflower Liqueur gives this a delicate floral taste while the vodka gives it a wonderful punch we all need at the end of a long week. This week, I was looking to drink something fruity and refreshing and full of fresh flavour and this Summer Breeze ticked all those boxes. All the more reason to drown our sorrows with a delicious and fragrant Friday Cocktail and this Summer Breeze is both those things, and more. Hooray, Friday has rolled round again even though it’s not another Bank Holiday weekend this week.
