Still Spirits Elderflower Gin: The Floral Note Your Gin Deserves

A Floral Twist to Your Favourite Gin – Meet Elderflower Gin

There’s something wonderfully satisfying about crafting your own spirits at home. Whether you’re a weekend tinkerer or a full-blown homebrew enthusiast, the search for that perfect flavour is half the fun. If you’re after something distinct yet elegant, Still Spirits Top Shelf Elderflower Gin is worth a spot on your home bar. This delicately fragrant flavouring takes classic gin up a notch.

Why Elderflower? The Secret to a Botanical Masterpiece

Gin has long been known for its crisp and aromatic character. Most of the magic comes from botanicals like juniper, coriander, and citrus peels. But elderflower? That’s where things get interesting. It introduces a lightly floral, almost honeyed touch that softens gin’s more traditional piney notes without overpowering.

It’s the ideal ingredient for those who love their spirits to have balance—floral, but not perfumey. Sophisticated, yet refreshingly smooth. Still Spirits Top Shelf Elderflower Gin makes it effortless to add this aromatic profile to your homebrew collection.

Crafting Your Own Elderflower Gin at Home

You don’t need a sophisticated still or lab-like setup to create an enviable gin. In fact, with this gin flavouring, all you really need is a bottle of neutral spirit or vodka and a little patience.

  • Quick and Easy: Mix the flavouring with vodka or neutral spirit, and in minutes, you’ve got an infusion that tastes like it came from a boutique distillery.
  • Premium Taste: The balance of dry juniper and delicate elderflower creates a refreshing and refined finish.
  • Cost-Effective: Forget spending top dollar on premium brands—this gives high-end flavour for a fraction of the cost.
  • Built for Creativity: Float fresh herbs, citrus peels, or even a dash of honey to make it even more uniquely yours.

Consistency is key when homebrewing, and this essence makes the process foolproof. If you’ve ever struggled with perfecting botanicals in gin infusions, this simplified approach takes the guesswork out of it.

From Classic Cocktails to Signature Creations

Once you’ve got your elderflower gin base, it’s time to let your inner mixologist shine. Start simple with a gin and tonic—the floral infusion works wonders with a quality tonic water and a fresh lime garnish. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, try these ideas:

  • Elderflower Tom Collins: Mix elderflower gin with fresh lemon juice, soda, and a little sugar syrup for a refreshing summer sipper.
  • Botanical Sour: Shake elderflower gin with fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white for a smooth, frothy treat.
  • Floral Fizz: Combine elderflower gin with sparkling wine and a splash of elderflower cordial for an elevated spritz.

It’s a versatile base spirit that works well in delicate cocktails and crisp, refreshing drinks—ideal whether you’re hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet evening in.
