# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes sophisticated enough for a wedding but takes less time than pouring a glass of juice.
  • The elderflower adds this haunting floral note that makes people pause and actually wonder what they're drinking.
  • You can make it in a batch for four people without breaking a sweat.
02 -
  • The order of assembly matters because pouring champagne first makes it go flat before you even get the good stuff in there.
  • If your champagne isn't actually chilled, this drink becomes mediocre fast, so do yourself a favor and plan ahead.
03 -
  • Buy elderflower liqueur even if you only use a bottle a year, because it transforms so many drinks and suddenly you're the person who knows about these things.
  • If your champagne is not properly chilled and you're in a time crunch, pour it over ice and wait exactly two minutes before assembling the cocktails.
