    Everyone NEEDS to know how to make this elderflower gin cocktail! I've been making this cocktail for a long time, and I'm finally sharing this amazing recipe with you. When I'm craving a keto cocktail, my go-to recipes are a classic cosmopolitan, margarita, or this elderflower gin cocktail.

    A gin and elderflower cocktail combines the freshness of cucumbers with the aromatic fragrance notes of basil and the sweetness of homemade and sugar-free cucumber elderflower syrup. The lime juice rounds out the flavor, making it a truly magnificent cocktail!

    Gin Elderflower Cocktail Ingredients

    Elderflower Gin Cocktail Ingredients
    • Gin - A good quality gin. I used Longdon dry gin.
    • Elderflower liqueur - The best-known elderflower liqueur is St. Germain, but it's quite expensive.
    • Lime juice
    • Basil leaves
    • Cucumber
    • Sparkling water
    • Erythritol

    How To Make Gin And Elderflower Cocktail

    • In a small pan, dissolve the Erythritol with half a cup of water. Add the elderflower liqueur and bring it to a boil over high heat. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes and then remove from the heat.
