Elderflower cordial is sweet, floral, slightly teeny weeny bit astringent (just enough to make it refreshing).

It't v. traditional in other parts of northern Europe, so I can only assume it is in Sweden too, although that bottle says elderBERRY rather than elderFLOWER. I'm assuming that's a translation thing? At Ikea prices, just buy a bottle and see what you think!

I made the same discovery couple of month ago at my local IKEA. I immediately loved the shape of the bottle and the sound of "Flädersaft". Had to say it loud a couple of times ;o)
Reading that it meant Elderflower brought back memories of my time Schotland. There we drank a lot of Elderflower cordial ... the most delicious drink I ever had!
But how did you manage to get to the cashier and only have to pay some $16? You must have a lot of willpower!

It's traditional in England as well, and you mix it with bubbly water. A great alternative to champagne, it tastes a little citrus and it's really good! Give it a try.

I had some years ago in London. It was subtle and lovely.

This is an old drink in Slovenia too. So, don't limit it to northern Europe.

It has really summerly taste.

Flädersaft is made by flowers. It taste like mild ice tea. Here in Sweden we also make vine from flowers. A traditional Swedish drink is also strawberry lemon, blueberry lemon and vodka. :)

If you like lychee or lichi,you will love Flädersaft - or hyldeblomstsaft, as we call it in Denmark. My grandmother used to make it - delicious!
