Recipe from Maureen Petrosky , Kitchn
NOTES The recipe can be made without the club soda but cut the elderflower liqueur by ¼ cup .
The strawberries can be removed completely , or you can substitute other fresh berries , sliced peaches or other fresh fruit . We used lemons and limes .
To make just one cocktail , combine 1 ounce of elderflower liqueur and 3 ounces of chilled Champagne with a few sliced strawberries .
