This Raspberry Elderflower Mocktail Recipe is complete with cranberry and apple juice, plus a dash of elderflower syrup — which, if you haven’t tried before, can best be described as sunshine in a glass. It’s floral, fragrant, and strong enough to hold its own when in the company of other bold fruit juices.

Serves 2

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/3 cup elderflower syrup
• 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons cranberry juice
• 1 cup apple juice
• Ice cubes
• 1 lime, sliced (for garnish)

Here’s what you’ll do:

2. Add the elderflower syrup, cranberry juice, and apple juice in a cocktail shaker with about 1/3 of the mashed raspberries.

3. Shake, shake, shake! Then pour into a tall glass with ice and top with remaining raspberry puree.
