# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The floral elderflower balances the sweet tropical guava in a way that feels elegant but not fussy
  • It comes together in literally five minutes but looks like something from a fancy cocktail bar
  • You can batch the base ahead of time and just top with champagne when guests arrive
02 -
  • Pouring the champagne slowly down the side of the glass instead of straight into the center keeps more of those precious bubbles alive
  • The ratio here hits my sweet spot, but you can absolutely play with more or less elderflower depending on your mood
03 -
  • Cold ingredients are absolutely essential here, so chill everything including the glasses beforehand
  • Use dry champagne or prosecco rather than something sweet, or the drink becomes cloying
