• 4 ripe tangerines, juiced
• 1/2 cup elderflower cordial
• 2 cups sparkling water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
• Ice cubes
• Fresh tangerine slices and mint leaves for garnish

1. Start by juicing the tangerines. You’ll love the tangy aroma of freshly squeezed citrus juice filling your kitchen.
2. In a pitcher, combine the fresh tangerine juice and elderflower cordial. Stir gently to mix these delicate flavors.
3. Add the lemon juice and honey. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved, adding just the right touch of sweetness.
4. Slowly pour in the sparkling water, stirring gently to keep the bubbles intact for that refreshing fizz.
5. Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the Tangerine Elderflower mixture over the ice, letting it chill perfectly.
6. Garnish with fresh tangerine slices and a sprig of mint for a beautiful, inviting presentation.

Helpful Tips and Variations:

• For a low-sugar variation, you can skip the honey or replace it with a few drops of stevia.
• Enhance the presentation by serving in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing experience.
• If tangerines are out of season, substitute with mandarins or clementines for a similar flavor profile.

Storage and Substitutions:

• Refrigerate any leftover drink base in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• If elderflower cordial is unavailable, a mix of white grape juice and a few drops of vanilla extract can provide a floral hint.

Pairings and Complements:

• This cooler pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cheese platters, fresh fruit, or summer salads.
• For dessert, consider serving with lemon bars or a light almond cake to complement the citrus and floral flavors.
