Elderflower White Cosmopolitan
The cosmo is an embellished descendant of the classic gimlet, made with lime juice and gin. It’s also a kissing cousin of the vodka-based kamikaze and of another cranberry cooler, the Cape Codder. Here, elderflower lends a wonderful aroma to this riff on a perennial cocktail. If you’re looking for other uses for elderflower liqueur, try adding a splash to Prosecco or use it to flavor panna cotta.
