Elderflower Power
1 shot St. Germaine elderflower liqueur

fresh squeezed lime juice used to balance the sweetness of St. Germaine
top with sparkling water

Let these chill in the fridge over night and then add a bottle of Prosecco and a cup of sparkling water to serve

1 shot 45th parallel gin or Hendrix gin
