Everyone knows I love tequila, but in this recipe I swear you cannot even taste it (despite me adding more than called for even!). Elderflower is an amazing liquor and we should all use it more, it reminds me of some of the drinks I've had at the Violet Hour in Chicago. After making these, we went out and I had a drink made with Elderflower, vodka and cucumber that was refreshing and I hope to mimic it at home soon. I think the huge bottle I bought will not go to waste!
