Elderflower Sparklers (Hyldeblomst Cocktails)
The elder tree’s white blossoms first appear in spring in Denmark, so these refreshing cocktails make an elegant homage to the season. Elderflower concentrate or syrup, made from the blossom of the elder tree, has a delicate, lightly floral aroma and mild honey flavor. Look for it in specialty shops. Apricot nectar can be used as a substitute. Have all the ingredients ice-cold before serving.
