Cocktail Description
Imagine the crisp chill of autumn distilled into a single sophisticated sip.
The Elderberry Breeze marries the clean profile of Ketel One vodka with the subtle floral sweetness of St-Germain elderflower liqueur, while cranberry and pressed apple juices add bright fruit notes and a pleasant tartness. This refreshing Collins-style cocktail balances sweet and tart perfectly, with the elderflower's distinctive honey-like character lingering pleasantly on the finish. It's remarkably simple to prepare—just a quick shake with ice—making it perfect for casual gatherings or cocktail parties where you don't want to spend all evening playing bartender. The Elderberry Breeze shines during late summer and fall when apples are at their peak, and pairs beautifully with charcuterie boards, mild cheeses, or herb-roasted chicken dishes. The tall, ice-filled glass topped with a fresh apple slice creates an elegant presentation that looks far more labor-intensive than it actually is.
