Crafting the Perfect Raspberry Elderflower Spritz Mocktail
Ingredients You’ll Need:
6oz WLD WTR: Clear
1oz Elderflower Syrup (suggestion: Elderflower by Monin)
4 Fresh Raspberries
1.5oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
Lemon Wheel (for garnish)
2 fresh raspberries (for garnish)
Add elderflower syrup, fresh raspberries and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the raspberries to release their juices and flavor. Cover cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix all the ingredients. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the cocktail mixture from the shaker into the prepared glass, ensuring that no raspberry seeds find their way into the glass. Fill the glass with ice. Top off the glass with 6oz of WLD WTR: Clear - pour slowly or use a bar spoon to create a layered effect. Drop a few fresh raspberries into the glass for a burst of color and flavor. Optionally, garnish the rim of the glass with a lemon slice. Enjoy responsibly!
