This elderberry gin recipe is the perfect way to use any elderberries you might have come across in your garden or on a country walk. The fruity, sweet flavour of the berries will leech out into the gin over time, resulting in a delightful tipple that's perfect for mixing into cocktails or topping up with tonic.
This is my basic recipe for elderberry gin, but I love adding different ingredients to change the final flavour. Orange rind and a cinnamon stick gives the gin a festive twist, while lime zest with coriander seeds and lemongrass works surprisingly well too.
