Elderflower Pear Collins

This Elderflower Pear Collins is a refreshing adaptation of the classic Tom Collins—light, bubbly, crisp and insanely delicious. 

The Tom Collins is a staple for a reason, a simple mix of gin, lemon, simple syrup and sparkling water never goes out of style. but if you're searching for something that's a little extra, without being a hassle to make, this drink is for you.

Pear and elderflower are like a dream team. The base of gin brings its familiar botanical edge, while elderflower liqueur adds a soft, floral sweetness that feels effortlessly sophisticated. Add in the juicy brightness of our Pear Beverage Infusion, and suddenly the classic Collins is transformed into a refreshing cocktail with a fruity, floral kick that’s perfect for any occasion.
