Cocktail Base

3 oz Tonica (or light tonic water)2 oz Kombucha (ginger or plain)1/2 oz Crisp ginger-elderflower syrup1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice1/2 oz Honey syrup (1:1 honey:water)

1 each Thin lemon wheel1 slice Fresh candied or sliced ginger1 each Elderflower sprig or small edible flower (optional)1 cup Ice (cubes or crushed)

Method

Cocktail Base

Prepare honey syrup (if not ready)

Combine equal parts honey and warm water (e.g., 1/4 cup honey + 1/4 cup warm water). Stir until honey fully dissolves. Cool before using. Makes more than needed; refrigerate up to 2 weeks.

Make ginger-elderflower syrup (if not using store-bought)

In a small saucepan combine 1/2 cup sliced fresh ginger, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons elderflower cordial or 1 tablespoon dried elderflower. Simmer gently 8–10 minutes until fragrant and syrupy. Cool and strain. Use 1/2 oz for each cocktail; refrigerate up to 2 weeks.

Build the drink

Fill a tall glass (collins or highball) with ice (about 1 cup). Add 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice and 0.5 oz honey syrup. Pour in 0.5 oz ginger-elderflower syrup and 2 oz kombucha. Gently stir 4–6 times to mix the syrups with the kombucha and lemon without flattening carbonation.

Top with tonic

Slowly top the glass with 3 oz chilled tonica (or light tonic water) to preserve effervescence. Give one gentle stir just to integrate.

Garnish & Serve

Nestle a thin lemon wheel on the side of the glass and float a slice of candied or fresh ginger on top. If available, add a small elderflower sprig or edible flower for aroma and presentation.

Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer. For a nonalcoholic/low‑alcohol variation use alcohol-free tonic and a nonalcoholic kombucha (this recipe is already nonalcoholic if kombucha is non-alc). Adjust honey syrup to taste.
