Organic Elderflower Pressé by Belvoir Fruit Farms

I think I've just found my new favourite beverage! I am totally smitten with this Elderflower Pressé by Belvoir Fruit Farms. It really has quite an unusual flavour and is bubbly and refreshing- perfect for a sunny summer afternoon. I don't even know what an Elderflower is, but I thank god for it.

And yes, the packaging is heavenly and quite possibly a contributing factor to my reverence for this product. I am now really keen to try the other flavours in the series. Melbournites- you can find these at The Essential Ingredient in Prahran Market.

It's something we always make ourselves but I guess it'd be nice with some bubbles!

I have been seriously addicted to this since they started selling it this summer at starbucks here in the UK! The supermarkets soon caught on too so now I cam buy a big bottle with my weekly shop :)I dont know if you have it over there but its also available in a cordial which you can mix with sparkling water which tastes exactly the same but uses less packaging and is more affordable. You get about 10pints from a 500ml bottle.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's caught on in Australia yet. I've only seen it in small bottles and in gourmet food stores.

I also recently discovered this in the supermarket in London. I love elderflower drink and the bottles are indeed looking marvelous. (The bottles look slightly different in London)

i buy elderflower cordial in coles/safeway drinks aisles. it's usually with the other cordials. i add a bit of cordial to soda water - yum!

Oh that packaging is beautiful! Wonder if it's available anywhere in Sydney... will have to keep a look out!

This sounds delicious! Elderberry bushes grow wild around here, I have a picture on my website of the flowers and berries. The picture on the bottle looks exactly like the flowers on the bush. Wonder if I could make this myself?

Yes! I also just discovered this too cute bubbly beverage in the States - love it. Though your photography is so much better than mine :)

oooh, have you tried St. Germain? I bet you'd like it! It's a French liquer made from elderflowers. It's exquisite - we add a shot of it to sparkling water or to champagne or prosecco for a really beautiful cocktail.

Hi Sarah- WOW, that sounds amazing! I really want to try it :)

St Germain's liquor!!! It's Elderflower liquor and it's AMAZING. I drank it all the time when I was living the dream in Manhattan.

Best mixed in Champagne!

Do try.
