Notes
Pro Tips
- Use fresh blood orange juice for the best flavor—bottled juice can lack the same intensity.
- Choose a high-quality gin with floral or citrus-forward notes to complement the elderflower liqueur.
- Shake the cocktail vigorously to ensure the flavors meld perfectly before adding the ginger ale.
- Serve in a chilled glass to maintain the drink’s refreshing coolness.
- For a festive touch, add a sugar or salt rim to enhance the citrus elements.
