What Is Elderflower Syrup?
Before you re-read your ingredients list for the Hugo Spritz mocktail recipe again, let us tell you that the elderflower syrup, also called elderflower cordial, is a sweet, floral concentrate that is made from the blossoms of the elder tree. To make it, fresh elderflowers are steeped in hot water. Then, these are combined with sugar and a touch of lemon to create an aromatic essence.
This syrup has delicate floral notes with hints of pear, lychee, and citrus, helping your mocktail have that refreshing and elegant character.
