It's the simple joy to hold something rare in your hands. No, I'm not talking diamonds or anything of value really, but rather something that is not too common here in America. Today's mocktail recipe features Elderflower, a honeysuckle-like syrup made from Elderberry. This syrup is commonly used in Europe for soft drinks, but it's pretty hard to find here at home.

When planning for my sister's bridal shower I thought about things that she would value - one of those things was her time abroad in Europe. And suddenly I found myself thinking about what they served in our favorite English tea room (besides tea that is). Elderflower Bubbly of course! This mocktail has my own little twist though.

Things you'll need:

- Elderflower Syrup
- Pelligrino
- Grapefruit

Fill a glass with 2 tablespoons of Elderflower Syrup, add ice, fill the glass with Pelligrino and add a spritz of grapefruit. It's so easy which makes it perfect to set out at a bridal shower and allow your guests to make it at will!
