A silky gin sour with elderberry, lime, and bitters, the Elderberry Sour delivers floral elegance with a bold twist.

The Elderberry Sour is a velvety, aromatic cocktail made with Daffy’s Gin, fresh lime juice, and a syrup of elderberry and echinacea tea. A smooth egg white foam adds body and elegance, while the dashes of bitters bring a subtle spice. It’s a refined take on the classic gin sour, perfect for those who enjoy floral notes with a zesty edge.
