I have never had elderberry Liquor, can you explain the flavors to me. I tend to like drinks on the sour side and with the lemon juice addition I’m thinking between that and the strawberries and Rose`, maybe it might cancel each other out ? So not to sweet and not to sour ? Maybe ? It does look beautiful and i was thinking of serving it as my signature cocktail for my Christmas party. Thanks for sharing. Oh shoot, i just realized there won’t be any fresh strawberries, can i use frozen ? Definitely won’t be as pretty.

Hi Diena, to answer your question Elderflower liquor is a very sweet floral and fruity liquor that tastes a bit like pears and sweet flowers. This cocktail is definitely sweet so I’m guessing you might not love it. If you are looking for a Christmas cocktail that has a little bit of tang I would try this one: https://www.freutcake.com/in-the-kitchen/drinks-anyone/christmas-eve-cocktails/
