Elderflower Cucumber Gin Cocktail

(7)
"To be honest, I have never tried elderflower before making this but I’ve always been so curious, and it didn’t disappoint! It was softly floral and sweet, the perfect addition to a good gin. I sipped this on my patio and even though it was barely 60F and I was really pushing the whole spring thing it made me FEEL like it was 70F on a sunny day somewhere in an English garden surrounded by flowers and other spring things, and that’s what we all need right now, right???"
