Elderflower Botanical Water, 5 fl oz (150ml)

I used to buy St. Germain liqueur for cocktails but found it too sweet. I now use a few dashes of this in mocktails and cocktails. My friends are wowed and ask what that lovely flavor is. This product is truly a rare find.

Simply wonderful. Add to sparkling water or tonic for a wonderful drink alternative for a fraction of what companies are charging for NA gin

I bought two versions: elderflower and orange flower. The labels on the bottle say, "Elderflower {/Orange Flower] Water is a particularly fragrant distillation of elderflower [/orange] blossoms which is used sparingly to accent mixed drinks." Now you might think that is a description of the contents of the bottle, but it's not. It's true that elderflower and orange flower waters are distillations of those flowers--but these products are NOT. I was looking for elderflower and orange blossom (neroli) hydrosols and was having difficulty finding any from any of my usual trusted brands. I know hydrosols are used in cooking, and I guess bartending (steam distillation of botanicals = a hydrosol a.k.a. "floral water"; e.g., rosewater is a hydrosol made from roses), so I thought I'd give these a try. UNFORTUNATELY when I received them I looked at the ingredients to discover it is only water, preservatives, and "natural Elder Flower [/Orange Flower] flavor." Even more unfortunately, I had already opened the safety seals. (Chalk another one up to the ADHD tax, I guess.) If all you're looking for is a water-based flavoring agent, these might do the trick for you. As I never planned to ingest them, I didn't taste them, so can't speak to that. But if you seeking something that is actually botanically sourced, look elsewhere.

Delicious addition to cocktails for an elderflower flavor. Plenty in the bottle for the price

Delicious and has a lovely aroma.

If I could give us zero stars, I would. Anybody that knows elderflower they will know what a wonderful flavor it is this garbage is just that there’s nothing elderflower like about it. And this is not a returnable item so now I’m stuck with it. Total and completely waste of money. This is not gonna do anything for you as far as your tea your cocktails or you’re cooking or baking. Just say no :) Go spend your money elsewhere on anything else other than this bottle. You’ll thank me later I promise.
