Lillet, Mint and Elderflower Aperitif

Let’s start Monday off with a cocktail. Because sometimes Monday’s need a cocktail!

This lovely combination of Lillet, Elderflower cordial, Mint and Sparkling water is the cocktail I reach for on hot Brisbane nights, and will be the one I’ll be serving on Christmas day, which will no doubt be a scorcher if previous years are anything to go by!

Welcome guests this holiday season with this lovely aperitif as it makes a lovely light change from champagne and strong heavy cocktails.
