Elderflower and Rosemary Lemonade

My Elderflower and Rosemary Lemonade is a soft citrus and herby drink which is delicious. It can easily be made alcoholic too by adding gin or vodka.

I love this quick and sophisticated take on a lemonade. It’s great to whip up in individual glasses but also looks so stunning in a glass jug. However you serve it, it truly a special take on the classic drink. Using cloudy lemonade is always a favourite of mine for drinks as it gives a beautiful colour to the finished drink or cocktail.

The smell of rosemary is so intoxicating and an aroma I absolutely love. I find the rich earthy smell of the rosemary with the citrus works so well together. It really is a feast for the senses. It looks beautiful, has a rich variety of flavours and the combination of smells will get your mouth watering.

Lemonade with a great little update which adds something so delicious to the final drink. A great adaptation on a classic to act a non alcoholic cocktail or perfect for summer parties. Well parties all year! I’ve recommended it for weddings, summer parties, holiday drinks and everything else too. It’s also been a favourite for children too who fancy having a drink like the adults.

If you want to make it a little more ‘adult’ add 25ml or 50ml of gin, vodka, or rum to mix. It’s a great base for adding alcohol however pretty wonderful when made as is. I made this drink for the Neptune Wimbledon Autumn launch party. Find out more about my live cooking demo at Neptune here.
