How To Make An Elderflower & Passion Fruit Gin And Tonic 🍸

This cocktail is all about balance. The tonic keeps it crisp, the elderflower adds smooth floral sweetness, and the passionfruit gives it that fresh tropical flavour that makes it impossible to stop at one.

  1. Fill The Glass With Ice: Use plenty of ice so the cocktail stays extra cold and refreshing.
  2. Add The Gin & Elderflower: Pour in the gin and elderflower syrup directly over the ice.
  3. Scoop In The Passionfruit: Cut the passionfruit in half and spoon the fresh pulp into the glass.
  4. Top With Tonic Water: Slowly pour over the tonic water and gently stir everything together.
  5. Garnish & Serve: Top with extra passionfruit, mint, lime, or edible flowers for the full cocktail bar look.

Got a question about our cocktails?

Our cocktails are fun! And we bet you have heaps of questions. Here are the most common questions hens organisers have asked us. Your question not answered here? Reach out to us!

What does an elderflower and passionfruit gin and tonic taste like?

It’s light, floral, fresh, and slightly tropical. The elderflower adds smooth sweetness while the passionfruit gives it a juicy tangy finish.

Is elderflower syrup sweet?

Yes, but it’s more floral than sugary. It balances really well with tonic water and gin.

What gin works best for this cocktail?

A clean dry gin like Gordon’s works perfectly because it lets the elderflower and passionfruit flavours stand out.

Why use tonic water instead of soda water?

Tonic water adds bitterness and balance which stops the cocktail becoming overly sweet.

Can I use pink gin?

Absolutely. Pink gin makes the drink fruitier and gives it an even brighter colour.

What’s the best glass for serving this cocktail?

Large balloon glasses work best because they hold lots of ice and show off the garnishes properly.

Should I stir or shake this cocktail?

Never shake tonic water unless you want it exploding everywhere. Build it in the glass and gently stir.

Can I use canned passionfruit pulp?

You can, but fresh passionfruit usually tastes brighter and looks much better in the glass.

Why does this cocktail look cloudy sometimes?

Fresh passionfruit pulp naturally makes the drink slightly cloudy, especially when stirred through ice.

What herbs work best as garnishes?

Mint, rosemary, thyme, and lavender all work surprisingly well with elderflower cocktails.
