Notes
- Elderflower syrup is also known as elderflower cordial.
- You can also use store-bought 100% pomegranate juice without additives or added sweeteners for this cocktail. You may also find it as pomegranate juice concentrate.
- You can substitute the champagne with prosecco or cava.
- I tried juicing the pomegranate with an electric citrus juicer (just like you would juice an orange) but the juice turned out to be very bitter because of the white skins that got juiced, too.
