Instructions

Fill your wine glass to the brim with ice then add the elderflower syrup or cordial.
Add the cucumber juice and lime juice.
Gently pour in the non-alcoholic wine (or soda) and stir, being careful not too disturb the lovely bubbles too much!
Add your optional garnish and serve.

Notes

Note 1: cucumber juice can be bought from the store or homemade using a juicer. If you don't have a juicer (I don't!) simply blend 2 inches of cucumber with 2 tablespoons of water and strain. I find it easiest to use a small blender or handheld/immersion blender. Push down on the cucumber flesh with your fingers or the back of spoon to extract every nutritious drop.

Note 2: you can use either non-alcoholic elderflower cordial or an elderflower syrup, both work equally well.

Note 3: I prefer to use a dry non-alcoholic wine for my cucumber mocktail because I find it is a little more adult and celebratory. Soda water also tastes delicious, it's just a little milder in flavor.

Note 4: you can use a mix of cucumber ribbons, lime wheels and or edible flowers as a optional garnish.
