Cucumber Elderflower Spritz Mocktail
Cool Cucumber, Delicate Elderflower and Bright Citrus
Elderflower cordial and cool cucumber juice turn our award-winning Edenvale Semillon Sauvignon Blanc into a pale, fragrant spritz built for slow sipping.
Fresh lemon lifts the wine's natural citrus and lychee character, and a full glass of crushed ice keeps this non-alcoholic spritz cold and easy to refill.
For this refreshing mocktail by The Mindful Mocktail, no shaker skills or hard-to-find ingredients are needed, just four things stirred together over ice.
What Is a Cucumber Elderflower Mocktail Spritz?
A Cucumber Elderflower Spritz is a non-alcoholic mocktail recipe that uses Edenvale Semillon Sauvignon Blanc in place of a traditional alcoholic base.
Cucumber juice adds a clean, garden-fresh note, elderflower cordial brings a delicate floral sweetness, and fresh lemon keeps the glass bright and structured rather than sweet.
Poured over crushed ice, it turns into a long, pale drink that suits a quiet afternoon just as easily as a table full of guests.

Mocktail Spritz Preparation and Serving Tips
- Blitz and strain fresh cucumber for the cleanest flavour, or use a good bottled variety when making several at once.
- For a fizzier finish, top the glass with a splash of soda water just before serving.
- To prep ahead for a group, mix the cucumber juice, elderflower cordial and lemon juice in a jug and refrigerate, then add the wine and ice per glass at serving time.
- Peel a thin cucumber ribbon lengthways with a vegetable peeler so it sits neatly around the inside of the glass.
Non-Alcoholic Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, the Spritz's Foundation
Grown on the southern tip of Western Australia in the Frankland River region, this wine ripens slowly in a cool climate that preserves its natural acidity.
Lemon-lime citrus, a soft lychee note and a hint of grassy freshness carry through after the alcohol is removed, giving the spritz its backbone.
It has won silver medals at the International Wine and Spirits Competition and the Global Low and No Wine Masters, and it has an alcohol content of less than 0.5% by volume.

- Four ingredients and five minutes, with no cocktail shaker technique required
- Naturally vegan, with nothing to make ahead beyond the wine and cordial
- A pretty, garden-fresh glass that photographs well at any gathering

Can You Make a Mocktail Spritz Ahead of Time?
