Whole house smells of elderflower this morning! Big Grin
Bottled and barrelled! Smile

Seems to have held it's 'Pink' colour up til now, Cool I'll just have to see how it ferments? Huh
Just had a look on youtube and put in a search for Elderflower and Strawberry Champagne. This is what i found:-

This appears to be more of an alcoholic version and uses raisins instead of lemons plus it has yeast added. Smile 

 And here's me thinking I was being original! Rolleyes
Just had my first taste. Plenty of taste and fizz. Cool Strange though, it looks and tastes like pink grapefruit? Rolleyes

Luckily, I rather like pink grapefruit! Big Grin
Its Elderflower time, in case you haven't noticed.
Anyone making anything this year?
No  Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad . We’ll be in the caravan before it’d be ready.
I'll be making some as usual, but the flowers aren't quite out here yet! Sick
This years batch started! Cool
All bottled up!  Cool

I don't eat bread any more so Kato's chewy treats stay in the bread bin! Rolleyes Big Grin
Drinking this years brew now. Cool To make it last a little bit longer and still enjoy the taste I fill a pint glass 1/4 full with it and top it up with cheap diet  lemonade! Refreshing and tasty,especially from the fridge! Smile
