Pretty edible flowers and earthy elderberry syrup are tasty and trendy.
When crafting mocktails, we like to explore new and exciting ingredients. We think about what is trending and also what is classic. We consider not only the flavor of the drinks but the appearance.
We really want our signature mocktails to excite and surprise you. We feel that our Urbanista mocktail is one that really checks all the boxes.
The Urbanista was created to highlight the flavors of elderberries. Elderberries are small, deep pink, almost black berries that are incredibly healthy. The small berries are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that will help boost your immune system as you sip on your mocktail.
Elderberries are said to ease cold and flu symptoms as well, making them the perfect drink if you are feeling under the weather but still crave something delicious.
Speaking of cravings, elderberries are completely crave-worthy. The berries have a lovely, sweet but tart flavor that are often compared to blackberries and grapes.
They also have a slight earthy taste that is delicious with the berry flavors. The apple juice, fresh raspberries and lemon all match that great elderberry taste.
Elderberries are considered to be the next big berry flavor in the culinary world. It is trendy, tasty and oh, so pretty. This drink would fit right in in the big city or at any backyard party. Enjoy!
