pour mom a drink!

Last week, we posted about a party we threw for a friend and in it, mentioned the cocktail we created for it. We think it would be a great cocktail to celebrate Mother’s Day with.  Having a brunch to celebrate Mom? This is the perfect thing to serve!  It’s simple, elegant and, with the added touch of edible flowers, a bit feminine. It has a wonderful light flavor with just the right hint of floral to it.

Elderflower Cocktail

• 7 ounces dry white wine, chilled

• 1 ounce Elderflower liqueur*, chilled

• 1 edible flower

Put flower in a champagne flute.  Add Elderflower liqueur, then white wine and serve.

- Makes 1 cocktail

There are a few different brands of Elderflower liqueur available, we used Thatcher’s, an organic spirit from Michigan that’s made by hand, in small batches.

Here’s to Mom!  Let’s pour her a drink!
