Sparkling Elderflower, Lemon & Mint Mocktail

A breeze through a Nordic midsummer meadow—this mocktail catches that moment when sunlight turns blossoms to perfume and laughter floats above picnic blankets. Elderflower brings a honeyed, pear-like aroma, while lemon and mint make everything shimmer like dew on grass.

Scandi summer in a glass is no accident: elder trees have been cherished across Northern Europe for centuries, their blossoms transformed into cordial to toast long daylight and easy company. Here, we keep the bubbles bright, the citrus clean, and the mint fresh, so every sip feels like stepping into golden hour.

Think floral first, citrus second, sparkle always. A gentle bruise of mint unlocks cool herbal notes without turning the drink bitter, and the balance of cordial to lemon lets you glide from sweet to sprightly. It’s picnic-friendly, garden-party ready, and delightful at brunch—no spirits needed, just sunshine and clinking ice.
