Print Recipe

A light, floral, and bubbly alcohol-free mocktail combining fresh lemon juice, elderflower cordial, rose water, and sparkling water. Perfect for brunch and easy to prepare in about 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) elderflower cordial
  • 1 teaspoon rose water (food grade)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold sparkling water or soda water
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh lemon slices (for garnish)
  • Fresh edible rose petals or mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Roll 2-3 fresh lemons on the counter to loosen the juice. Cut in half and use a citrus juicer to extract about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of juice. Strain if you prefer a pulp-free drink.
  2. In a pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of elderflower cordial. Stir gently to blend the sweet floral syrup evenly.
  3. Pour in 1 teaspoon of rose water. Stir once or twice to distribute the aroma.
  4. Fill each serving glass halfway with ice cubes to keep the mocktail crisp and cool.
  5. Divide the lemon, elderflower, and rose mixture evenly among the glasses over the ice.
  6. Carefully pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold sparkling water or soda water into each glass. Pour slowly to maintain bubbles. Gently stir with a spoon to combine without flattening the fizz.
  7. Add a thin slice of fresh lemon on the rim and, if desired, a few edible rose petals or mint leaves for garnish. Serve immediately to enjoy at its fizziest.

Notes

Use food-grade rose water and add it sparingly to avoid overpowering the drink. Keep sparkling water very cold and add it last, pouring gently to preserve bubbles. Fresh lemon juice is essential for brightness. Prepare the lemonade base ahead and add sparkling water just before serving for best fizz. Adjust elderflower cordial and lemon juice to balance sweetness and tartness. Optionally garnish with edible rose petals or mint leaves.
