    Easter is not just for kids. And cocktails are not just for evening. Easter brunch is a perfect time for a cocktail with light flavors and some fizz.

    An Elderflower Gin Fizz is a great choice for any warm weather brunch. The botanicals in gin mesh beautifully with St. Germain elderflower liqueur which is flowery and lightly sweet. The color is a sublime faint peachy color too!

    What is a Gin Fizz?

    A Gin Fizz cocktail is a light effervescent cocktail thanks to gin, lemon juice and sugar which are vigorously shaken in a cocktail shaker before being strained into a glass. Not to be confused with teh Ramos Gin Fizz which also has an egg white adding a frothy head on top.

    This Elderflower Gin Fizz has the added flavor from St. Germain liqueur which as got to be one of my favorites. It’s lightly floral flavor give a traditional gin fizz a thirst-quenching boost.

    Frozen Berries keeps the Elderflower Gin Fizz Cool

    Traditionally a Gin Fizz cocktail is NOT served with ice. However I like it on the cooler side. To celebrate warmer weather I pre-froze berries (instructions in the recipe) to add to the cocktails.

    The frozen berries makes it look and taste fresh (and are great to eat when the cocktail is done). Berry Freezing TIP: Freezing berries individually before combining them into a larger freezer container keeps them from freezing to each other for easier use. In a time pinch, frozen berries may be purchased too!

    Regardless of what you are preparing for an Easter meal, these Elderflower Gin Fizz cocktails are a great addition. They are perfect for brunch or lunch!

    They are also perfect for garden parties (does anyone still throw those?!) or summer evening sipping. The cool, light ingredients are completely refreshing and unique.
