Equipment

  • Muddling spoon (cocktail stirrer) or wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • ice 3-4 cubes
  • 6 mint leaves
  • 3 lemon balm leaves optional, or lime juice*
  • 1.5 tablespoon elderflower cordial or 1 tablespoon elderflower syrup
  • sparkling water or club soda

Instructions

  • Add a handful of ice cubes to your glass.
  • Place the mint leaves and lemon balm leaves (if using) in your hand and 'clap' together to release their oils and scent. Place in the glass.
  • Pour on the elderflower cordial and sparkling water. Use a muddling spoon to stir, then enjoy!

Notes

*I suggest that my low histamine readers use lemon balm leaves for their citrus flavor, rather than lime juice which is higher histamine.
  • If you have a sweet tooth you may like to use a little more elderflower cordial.
  • The lemon balm is optional, but adds a nice citrus note.
  • I suggest to use a plain unflavored sparkling water to make the mocktail.
  • Check the ingredients list of your elderflower cordial for citrus (and other ingredients) if they do not work for you. Brands vary a great deal in their added ingredients for cordial.
  • Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
