Inspired by a delicious palate cleansing dish we tried at Timberyard while on our honeymoon in Edinburgh, this drink is liquid sunshine. It is incredibly refreshing and perfect for long hot days. Made from only a few ingredients, the elderflower spritz slushie is great. You simply freeze elderflower liqueur (I use St Germain), lemon juice, and champagne together to create an elderflower lemon granita mixture. Freeze this mixture for about four hours, mixing things up a bit every once in awhile to create some fun texture. Then, scoop a hearty spoonful out of the mixture into a coupe glass, top with champagne and sparkling water, and garnish with fresh mint, a lemon, a lime, or a mixture of all three!
