I may have found my perfect summer cocktail, it’s been on my mind for a while now as I wondered what would happen if I paired two of my upmost favourite flavours on this earth, Earl grey tea & elderflower. Throw some gin at it & we’re in a very happy place indeed. Refreshing is an understatement, this Earl Grey Elderflower Cooler is delightfully fruity, floral & sweet. Without the fizz of a conventional cocktail, this goes down smooth & easy, the perfect way to while away a summer afternoon in the sunshine.
