A NEFT Vodka Barrel and a glass of Elderflower Sour on a bar counter.

Elderflower Sour

A closeup of a Sweet, Year Round Elderflower Sour drink against a dark background.

Everything you love about a sour, but with the light, sophisticated floral notes of elderflower. This Elderflower Sour puts a NEFT Vodka twist on a classic. The cocktail is made with NEFT Vodka and elderflower water rather than an elderflower-flavored spirit, allowing the quality of the ingredients to truly shine. Lemon juice adds a bright acidity, balanced by a bit of sweet simple syrup. The egg white transforms the cocktail into a sour, creating a smooth, silky texture perfect for sipping.
