What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- 1 cup peach nectar – Fresh is always best, but Ceres 100% Peach Juice or Lakewood Organic Peach Nectar are great store-bought options.
- 2 tablespoons elderflower syrup – Monin Elderflower Syrup has a bright floral flavor that blends beautifully with the peach.
- ½ cup sparkling water – Topo Chico, Perrier, or San Pellegrino add the perfect level of fizz.
- ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice – A squeeze of fresh lemon adds brightness, but Volcano Sicilian Lemon Juice is a solid bottled option.
- Ice – Regular ice works, but if you want to get fancy, clear ice cubes make for a polished look.
Optional Garnishes
- Fresh peach slices – Use whatever’s in season, but Georgia or California peaches tend to have the best flavor.
- Edible flowers – Chamomile or pansies add a beautiful touch. Look for fresh edible flowers at farmers’ markets or specialty grocery stores.
- Fresh mint sprigs – A simple way to bring out the freshness of the drink.
Tools You’ll Need
- Cocktail shaker or stirring glass – To mix everything smoothly.
- Citrus juicer – If using fresh lemon juice.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Chill & Prep the Glasses
A well-chilled glass makes all the difference. Fill each glass with ice while you prepare the drink, then discard the ice before serving.
For a fancy touch, run a lemon wedge around the rim of the glass and dip it in sugar for a subtle sweetness.
Step 2: Mix the Base
In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, combine:
✔️ 1 cup peach nectar
✔️ 2 tablespoons elderflower syrup
✔️ ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice (if using)
Fill the shaker with ice, seal, and shake for about 15 seconds to chill everything thoroughly.
Step 3: Pour & Add Sparkle
Strain the mixture into your prepared glass over fresh ice.
Top with ½ cup sparkling water (or non-alcoholic white wine for an elegant spritz). Stir gently to combine.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Add a fresh peach slice or a few edible flowers for a beautiful finishing touch. A sprig of mint adds a refreshing aroma.
Your Peach Elderflower Fizz is ready—light, floral, and perfect for any occasion!
