Can I substitute Elderflower Cordial with something else in the Lady Dani cocktail?

Yes, if Elderflower Cordial is not available, you can substitute with St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur for a similar floral note, though you may want to adjust the quantity due to the difference in sweetness and alcohol content. Alternatively, a homemade elderflower syrup can also work if you're looking for a non-alcoholic option.

For the Lady Dani cocktail, garnishing with a lime wheel or a thin slice of cucumber adds a refreshing touch. Additionally, a sprig of mint or a few elderflowers (if available) can enhance the visual appeal and add a subtle aroma that complements the drink's flavors.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve the Lady Dani cocktail?

The Lady Dani cocktail is best served cold in a cocktail glass. Make sure to chill the glass before serving by either placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice water and then emptying it. This ensures that the cocktail remains chilled and refreshing.
