Why We Love the Elderflower Mojito Spritz
This is a cocktail that’s all about freshness. The mint provides a clean, aromatic base, while the lime juice keeps things bright and zesty. The elderflower tonic introduces a subtle floral element that plays beautifully with the rum, creating a drink that’s light and full of character without being overly sweet. With crushed ice and a mint sprig garnish, it’s as inviting to look at as it is to drink.
It’s ideal for garden parties, BBQs, or any time you want a mojito with a softer, more refined edge. One sip, and you’ll see why this floral twist is destined to become a summer staple.
