Love Gin? Love Elderflower? Well, it's your lucky day! We've put together 5 of our absolute favourite gin cocktails with elderflower.
Elderflower in a gin cocktail is a great mix and our customers love the 5 serves below when they're on the menus at one of our London Gin Bars.
Why do people love the combination so much?
Elderflower with gin creates a light, floral and refreshing cocktail. In fact, we often find Elderflower is the number ONE most popular type of tonic/mixer with gin drinkers as it is less bitter than a traditional Indian tonic, which has a more dry, typical Quinine flavour.
What's more, if people say they aren't the biggest gin drinkers or fans of gin, if we serve them up a gin cocktail with an elderflower mixer, we can be pretty sure they'll be converted right away!
One of the signature Jim and Tonic cocktail serves at our 'Grand Central' Bar in Elephant and Castle, South London!

Perfect for those who claim they don't like tonic, or the taste of gin, or are just lovers of all things gin and elderflower!
The Elderflower Gin Fizz is one of the many cocktails in the 'Gin Fizz' family. It is one of those cocktails that is perfect for a nice, sunny day (or pretending to somewhere sunny in the case of most of us Brits).

]]>For 30-40 years it was hugely popular, but then strangely faded into obscurity for reasons no one seems to know!
However, in 2005 it was revived in Seatle's Zig Zar bar.
]]>It was used to describe something of 'excellence'.
After this, it gained popularity internationally.
The 'Gin Fizz' is the most iconic of all the Fizz cocktails. It's a simple mix of gin, fresh lemon juice, sugar and soda water.
It is quite similar to a 'Tom Collins', the only difference being that a 'Tom Collins' uses Old Tom gin. As Old Tom gins became less popular, and Dry Gins became the main gins on the market, the Fizz rose in popularity.
It is one of the all-time classic gin-based cocktails, first appearing as a written recipe in 1862 by legendary barman Jerry Thomas in his book 'The Bartender's Guide'.
Originally it was believed to have been first created in 1919 by legendary bartender Harry Mckellen in London's Ciro Club. This 'original' recipe included creme de menthe, triple sec and lemon juice in equal measure. Later on, in 1923, McKellen had now taken his skills to Harry's New York bar in Paris and refined his recipe, making it drier with the addition of gin.
Fast forward to the 1930's and the famous mixologist Harry Craddock increased the amount of gin in the 'White Lady', making it even drier.
And then we had Peter Doreli at The Savoy, who began finishing off the cocktail with a touch of egg white, giving it that smooth and creamy texture.
The 'White Lady' cocktail was born and we're still enjoying it decades later!
]]>Hot Gin and Tonic has been a true English delight since the early 1800's. Indeed, the first written recipe for a hot G&T was during the London 'Frost Fairs' of the 1800's, when Londoners used to set up markets and fairs on the frozen Thames river. Yep, winters were way way colder back in 1800's London!
]]>The name "Bramble" comes from the bramble bush, where blackberries grow.
