St. Elder Natural Elderflower Liqueur

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

On the palate St. Elder Natural Elderflower Liqueur reads as a very light, floral sip with soft honeyed notes and a delicate sweetness that leaves a clean, slightly perfumed finish, more like a cordial than a heavy spirit given its 0.2% ABV. Crafted in New Zealand from elderflower infusion and lightly sweetened to preserve the blossom’s aroma, it feels refreshing and transparent in cocktails or simply topped with soda, and works beautifully when served alongside rich goat cheese or chilled oysters where its floral lift brightens salty, creamy flavors.
