Earlier this year I met Rachel Even, founder of Garden of Eten, a line of local, small batch holistic goodies. She created Elderberry Syrup, an all natural product that assists with gut health, seasonal allergies, and overall well being. When I was tasted her product my first thought was how perfect it would be in a cocktail. Taste good, good for me and mixes perfectly in a cocktail!
