The idea came from a desire for a refreshing summer drink that works wonderfully in a tall glass with large ice cubes or served chilled in a more elegant short glass. It serves as a thirst-quencher and, with a little tweaking, can be an aperitif for summer parties or a larger punch served from a pitcher.

A fun and refreshing summer mocktail perfect for the sauna:

• Start with a splash of elderflower syrup
• Add a couple of splashes of Laitila lemon soda or your favorite citrus soda
• For a tangier twist, try San Pellegrino's Limonata
• Top it off with a few splashes of sparkling soda water
• Pile in the ice and garnish with lemon and cucumber slices, plus a sprig of fresh mint for extra flair
• If you're in the mood for a cocktail, simply swap the soda water for some dry sparkling wine

Cheers!
