This Elderflower Gin and Tonic cocktail gets its subtle floral sweetness from St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, along with Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic Water. Elderflowers are actually handpicked to make both of these ingredients.

How to Make an Elderflower Gin and Tonic

A gin and tonic is one of the easiest cocktails to make at home! You simply mix 4 ingredients in a glass with ice – your favorite gin, plus St-Germain, tonic water, and lime juice. The only secret you need to know is that the overall flavor of this drink heavily depends on the specific gin and the quality of the tonic water you use.

Ingredients to make Elderflower Gin and Tonic: St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic Water

For this cocktail, I like to use Bombay Sapphire Gin. But you can use your favorite gin in this recipe. I highly recommend using Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic Water, since it goes nicely with the St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur.

If you don’t have St-Germain, you can leave it out and make a classic gin and tonic using the same amounts of gin, tonic water, and lime as listed in the recipe.
