Notes

Eight-serving pitcher: Add 2 cups elderflower liqueur and 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice to a pitcher. If you'd like, you can cover and refrigerate this mixture up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, pour in one 750-milliliter bottle of chilled sparkling white and 1 cup chilled club soda. Stir gently to combine. Pour into ice-filled glasses and serve immediately.
  • Don't substitute bottled lemon juice for freshly squeezed lemon juice. The flavor is not nearly as good.
  • Serve in a chilled glass. To chill the glass, simply place it in the freezer for 15-30 minutes before serving.
  • For smaller gatherings, you can pick up sparkling wine splits. One split contains 6 ounces, which is enough for two drinks.
