This zesty cocktail is a twist on the classic drink French 75, swapping Champagne for an English sparkling wine and adding elderflower liqueur.
If you’re looking for some English wine inspiration during English Wine Week, a sparkling wine to try is Chapel Down Bacchus 2018, from the UK’s biggest winemaker based in Kent. This wine is easy to drink, fresh and vibrant and will complement the cocktail well.
