Elderflower Cooler
Fresh, floral, and beautifully understated, the Elderflower Cooler is a refined alcohol-free cocktail that brings garden party vibes to your glass. Built around the soft botanicals of 0.0% dry gin and the delicate sparkle of Double Dutch Elderflower Tonic Water, this refreshing serve is perfect for warm afternoons, relaxing evenings, or anytime you want a sophisticated sip without the alcohol.
Why We Love the Elderflower Cooler
The Elderflower Cooler is the definition of effortless elegance. The non-alcoholic gin adds all the herbal complexity of a classic spirit, while a splash of lime brings crisp acidity to wake up the palate. It’s the Double Dutch Elderflower Tonic Water, though, that really makes this cocktail sing — subtle, floral, and perfectly balanced, it lifts every note and adds a gentle fizz that lingers beautifully on the tongue.
Visually, it’s just as stunning. Garnished with a spiral of cucumber and a fresh mint sprig, this is a drink that looks as cooling and serene as it tastes. It’s ideal for brunches, afternoon garden hangs, or as a classy alternative at your next celebration.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve in a large tumbler glass filled with ice for a clean, classic presentation.
- Garnish with a cucumber spiral and fresh mint sprig — they add fragrance and a splash of colour.
- Pairs beautifully with herby canapés, citrus salads, or summer rolls.
Top Tips
- Use a jigger for accuracy — too much lime can overpower the delicate elderflower notes.
- Chill all your ingredients ahead of time to keep everything crisp and refreshing.
- Lightly press the mint before garnishing to release its natural oils for an aromatic lift.
The Elderflower Cooler is proof that alcohol-free doesn’t mean excitement-free. With its crisp flavours and calming profile, it’s the kind of drink that refreshes both body and mood — one gentle sip at a time.
