Another method I've found for separating little flowers or berries from their stems is to use a fork. Slide the stems in between the tines of the fork and gently pull away the flower or berry from the stem, almost like you're combing them out of the stems. I made great use of this method to pick lilac flowers.

@@KevinKos thanks! It was interesting how the sweetness of the liqueur assisted in the perceived acidity of the cocktail. For context, my beverage director mentioned the situation in some Champagne houses where low dosage Champagnes were typically not very interesting due to the lack of sugar, and it turns out that the perceived acidity, amongst other things, of Champagne was more noticeable once dosage was added as opposed to little or none.

I've been getting disillusioned with liqueurs lately due to the high cost of neutral spirits. Watered down Everclear has off flavors you need to overpower compared to your average vodka, but most vodkas that are good enough to use for infusions are in the $20-25 range for a 750ml. A lot of good-to-great liqueurs are in that range already without the work and chance of me screwing it up. Shrubs, however, you can't buy at the store for the most part and offer a lot of room for cheap experimentation.

I tried many fancier brands but this one is the best after taste testing! By the way.. I have been looking everywhere locally ( South of France) for flowering elderflower, but no luck finding it yet.

That said I imagine yours would probably be better, elderflower isn't a common over here. I bought a tree but don't get enough flowers to make a huge amount of cordial.
