🌸 Garden Fairy Cocktail Recipe
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 1 ounce gin (a floral gin works beautifully)
- ½ ounce elderflower liqueur
- ½ ounce fresh lemon juice
- ½ ounce raspberry syrup or pink simple syrup
- 3 ounces chilled prosecco or sparkling wine
- Pink Pop Rocks (for the rim)
- Ice (if shaking)
- Optional garnish: sugared berry + fresh mint
How to Make It
Step 1: Rim the Glass
Lightly dip the rim of your coupe glass in lemon juice.
Pour pink Pop Rocks onto a plate and gently dip the rim into the candy.
Set aside carefully. (Do this right before serving so the Pop Rocks stay crackly.)
Step 2: Shake the Base
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine:
Gin
Elderflower liqueur
Lemon juice
Raspberry syrup
Shake for 10–15 seconds until well chilled.
Step 3: Strain & Sparkle
Strain into your prepared coupe glass.
Top slowly with chilled prosecco.
The bubbles + pink hue give it that soft fairy shimmer.
Step 4: Garnish
Add a sugared raspberry or strawberry on the rim.
Tuck in a small mint leaf for that fresh garden feel.
Serve immediately while the Pop Rocks still sparkle and pop.
What It Tastes Like
This cocktail is:
• Lightly sweet
• Bright and citrusy
• Floral without being overpowering
• Fizzy and refreshing
The elderflower adds elegance.
The raspberry gives it that blush tone.
The prosecco keeps it celebratory.
Hosting Tips
For a garden party setup:
• Use coupe glasses
• Scatter edible glitter lightly on the table
• Serve alongside florals and greenery
• Keep the palette pink + soft green
It’s perfect for:

Make It Non-Alcoholic
Swap:
