Elderflower Collins
Report
The Elderflower Collins is a refreshing variation on the classic Tom Collins, combining gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and soda water. Serve your elderflower gin cocktail over ice with a lemon slice. Light and floral it’s perfect for hot summer evenings or any time you want a refreshing drink.

Ingredients
- 2 ounces gin
- 1 ounce elderflower liqueur St. Germain, for example.
- 1 ounce lemon juice
- 4 ounces club soda or seltzer water
- 1 lice orange or lemon optional for garnish
- 1 maraschino cherry optional for garnish
Instructions
- If you want to layer Empress gin on top of the Collins, combine the elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, and club soda in a cocktail shaker and pour into an ice-filled glass.
- To float a layer of Empress gin, pour the gin slowly over an ice cube if any are sticking out of the liquid or the back of a bar spoon laid bottom side up on top of the ice cubes.
- Garnish with a lemon or orange wheel and a maraschino cherry (or a chive blossom, if you like). Drink with a compostable straw.
Notes
- Choose a mild gin: A citrus-forward gin pairs well with the floral notes of the elderflower liqueur.
- Adjust the elderflower liqueur and lemon juice to taste in your elderflower gin cocktail.
- If you do not want a separate gin layer in your Elderflower Collins, include the gin with the liqueur and lemon juice. Strain into a tall glass filled with ice and top with the club soda.
