What Is Elderflower Liqueur?

Elderflower Liqueur is a sweet and floral liqueur that can be enjoyed on its own or in a delicious cocktail. This liqueur is made from elderflowers which have their own unique scent and taste.

It is a little more expensive than some liqueurs, so if you don’t want to spend too much, there are less expensive alternatives available.
