Instructions
Infuse the Cucumber
Place the cucumber slices into a small jug with the elderflower cordial and let them sit together for 2 minutes. This quick infusion adds a subtle fresh and cool note to the drink.
Mix the Base
In a cocktail shaker or mixing jug, combine the elderflower cordial with the cucumber slices, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to make sure the syrup is fully dissolved.
Fill the Glasses
Fill two tall glasses generously with ice cubes. Place one cucumber slice and a sprig of fresh thyme into each glass for added visual appeal and subtle aroma.
Pour and Top
Divide the elderflower and lemon mixture evenly between the two glasses by pouring it over the ice. Top each glass slowly with sparkling water to retain maximum bubbles.
Garnish and Serve
Gently stir each drink once with a long spoon. Garnish with a lemon slice on the rim and an extra sprig of fresh thyme. Serve immediately while the sparkling water is still bubbly.
