Summer Splash Party Cordial

Author: Kami McBride

Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh elder flowers or 1/3 cup dried elder flowers
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh orange peel
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh lemon peel
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh peppermint
  • 3 cups Chardonnay, or to cover by 2 inches
  • Honey to sweeten
  • Orange slice for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill a clean glass jar with the strawberries, elder flowers, orange peel, lemon peel, and peppermint.
  • Pour the Chardonnay to cover the ingredients by 2 inches. Stir well.
  • Put a lid on the jar and let the ingredients steep for a few days.
  • Place a funnel into the mouth of a clean jar or pitcher and lay muslin on top of the funnel. Carefully pour the alcohol through the muslin and funnel, letting the muslin catch the herbs and fruit, and being careful not to let them spill into the jar. Allow all the liquid to strain through the cloth into the jar. Do not squeeze the muslin, just let the liquid drip through the cloth.
  • Add honey to sweeten.
  • Serve with an orange garnish.
