23 Sep Gin & Soda Cocktail with Pink Grapefruit Juice and Elderberry
Posted at 13:57h in Drinks
This is the loveliest of cocktails! The soda gives it some sparkle without the added zip of tonic. I don’t know about you, but I just adore the combination of grapefruit and elderberry too!
Juniper berries are wonderful. I buy them a kilo at a time on Amazon and keep them in the freezer!
