Drink a Flower

Since I'm taking a hiatus from alcohol (its been more than a month now!) it has been fun to experiment with mocktails. This summer I've gotten a bit obsessed with Elderflower Cordial. It's a great cordial to play around with, you can mix it with water, or soda, or tonic; and throw in just about any combination of fruit. Above I used strawberries, cucumber, borage flowers and water. {Of course, if you like, you can spike it with gin or vodka.} Perfect for lazing about in the sunshine and enjoying good company.

This is the brand I buy, although this year I was lucky to also get a homemade bottle from Beata. (It's a bit late in the season now to make your own, but for your reference, here's a recipe.)
