Tips, storage & swaps
Adults’ version: top with 75 ml dry vegan sparkling wine instead of half the water, or add 30 ml gin.
Sparkling wine: some wines are fined with animal products such as isinglass, gelatin, casein or egg white. Look for a vegan label or check the producer.
Batch it: mix cordial, lime and cucumber in a jug and top each glass with sparkling water to serve.
Most elderflower cordials are vegan (flowers, sugar, citrus), but check the label.
Every recipe on itsvegan is 100% plant-based: no meat, fish, dairy, eggs, honey or gelatin. Always check packaged ingredients such as chocolate, bread and wine for hidden animal products.
