  3. Squeeze some lemon juice into the glass.
  4. Pour in the gin and the elderflower drink.

Notes

  • Add lemon juice to taste. Start with 1-2 tablespoons and add more after you’ve poured in all the other ingredients.

  • Either St Germain liqueur or elderflower syrup.
  • Use a good quality, well-carbonated brand.
