Print Recipe

A delightful alcohol-free mocktail blending rosé syrup, lemonade, and elderflower cordial, topped with a playful strawberry sugar rim. Perfect for summer parties or quiet moments of refreshment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) rosé syrup
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh lemonade
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) elderflower cordial
  • Fresh strawberries (for rim and garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or superfine sugar (for rim)
  • Ice cubes (6-8 per glass)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberry sugar rim: On a small plate, combine about 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons finely crushed fresh strawberries. Mix until the sugar takes on a pink hue and fruity aroma.
  2. Moisten the rim of each glass with a fresh strawberry or a little lemon juice, then dip into the sugar and strawberry mixture, twisting gently to coat evenly. Set glasses aside.
  3. In a pitcher, combine 1 cup (240 ml) fresh lemonade, 1/3 cup (80 ml) rosé syrup, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) elderflower cordial. Stir gently to blend the flavors.
  4. Fill each glass with 6-8 ice cubes to chill the drink properly.
  5. Pour the rosé lemonade mixture into each glass over the ice, leaving a little room at the top for garnish.
  6. Add a fresh strawberry on the rim or float a thin lemon wheel on top. Optionally, tuck in a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing aroma.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

If the syrup is too sweet, reduce rosé syrup by 1 tablespoon and add sparkling water to maintain volume. Chill lemonade beforehand for a cold drink. Gently mash strawberries for the rim to avoid mushiness. Stir gently to preserve elderflower aroma. The mocktail base can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days; add ice and rim glasses just before serving.
