We may be a baking blog, but that doesn’t stop us from sharing recipes that we love, whether or not they go in the oven. And now that we’ve talked lots about how summer calls for ice cream and cake, we must admit that above all else, it calls for cold drinks! So, today’s recipe is for an elderflower and gin soda. The elderflower is really what makes it summery and somewhat Scandinavian in nature, but there’s also lime juice and gin to add delicious flavor and alcohol 🙂
It doesn’t get any more simple than this drink, which you don’t even have to shake! Simply add ice and all of the ingredients to a glass and stir, and you’re all set! Enjoy on a warm summer evening with friends and family. Recipe below! Watch our video to see the step by step on how to make this drink:
Elderflower Gin Soda
Ingredients
- 1 oz gin
- 3/4 oz elderflower drink concentrate (or elderflower syrup) *we get our elderflower drink concentrate from IKEA; we also think you could substitute this for an elderflower liqueur!

- 1/2 oz (or to taste) lime juice
- Ice cubes
- Lime round for garnishing
Instructions
- Add ice to a glass. Pour in your gin, elderflower drink concentrate, lime juice, and club soda. Stir well to combine. Garnish with a lime round or wedge and enjoy!
