Notes
- If you’d like an elderberry mocktail instead of a cocktail, all you need to do is omit the vodka!
- Instead of sparkling water, you could use ginger ale or tonic water for a little more flavor if you prefer. You could also add a squeeze of lemon or lime to brighten it up!
- If vodka isn’t your favorite, feel free to use gin or even whiskey for a different twist!
