You can get a similar level of bubble by whipping up a delicious nutritious cocktail as you huddle around the camp stove cooking dinner in the wild. Keep reading to find out more about our mouthwatering clifftop cocktail also known as an Elderflower Spritz.
We’re sharing this Elderflower Spritz recipe to add a little extra sizzle to your next hike. This is the perfect drink for the end of a long hike as you set up camp by a bubbling brook.
As a risk management strategy, we recommend consuming no more than one standard drink if you’re on a clifftop 😉
