Refreshing Beverage of the Week
This drink caught my eye because it uses elderflower-flavored liqueur, which my pal Nouf introduced me to a few weeks ago, in the ginger cooler she made. It was love at first sip. This drink is totally different because it is also flavored with Chartreuse which is a sweet French liquor flavored with 130 herbs and colored with saffron. Once again ... health food!
