    Meyer Lemon French 75 with Elderflower Syrup

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This Meyer Lemon French 75 with Elderflower Syrup is the perfect cocktail to serve during the busy holiday season.  It's a little floral, a little sour, a little sweet with lots of bubbles.

    Meyer Lemons

    A few weeks ago our neighbors knocked on our door and gave us a huge back of meyer lemons from his daughters yard.  It has such a unique flavor.  It's almost floral and I thought it would be so great to pair with some elderflowers and herbs.

    I love how this cocktail is very much inspired by fresh ingredients from our neighbors garden and ours.

    Meyer Lemon French 75 Bar

    I like to free form this cocktail and just have some individual mini champagne bottles out with St. Germaine liqueur with some homemade elderflower syrup.  It's a great alternative to champagne bar for New Years Eve parties.  You can have your guests add as little or as much gin and/or champagne as they want.  It also saves you from doing one more thing at a party.

    The set up:

    • Mini Champagne Bottles
    • St Germaine
    • Meyer Lemons
    • Elderflower Syrup
    • Variety of Herbs

    Place everything on a bar cart and sit back and relax.

    I would love love to see the Champagne bars you designed.  Tag me at @rezelkealoha and share it with me please!
