Elderberry Cordial

I'm over at From Scratch Club today talking about finding elderberry trees on my property (awesome surprise!) and how to forage for your own elderberries. I also offered up two recipes: One for making an elderberry cordial, and another on an awesome champagne cocktail using your homemade cordial (picture above). Definitely check out the post, if you can!

Cocktail Tumblers

I couldn't leave you with all those cocktail recipes without something pretty to drink them from! Behold... cocktail tumblers (more encompassing than "cocktail glasses!").

1. Recycled Glass Tumblers, Set of 6, $45 // 2. Recycled Glass Pint Glass, $13 // 3. Vintage Cocktail Glasses, Set of 4, $30 // 4. Artisan Blown Carafe and Glasses, $86.99 // 5. Stacking Recycled Glass Tumblers, Set of 6, $39 // 6. Artisan Blown Glasses, Set of 6, $52.99

Sustainable and Recycled Seagrass Glass, $8 // 5. Short Recycled Glass Tumblers, Set of 2, $28 // 6. Tall Recycled Glass Tumblers, Set of 2, $30 // 

Other options: Take a trip to a local thrift store or second-hand shop and see what you can find! Buying previously-loved items keeps them out of landfills, reduces our carbon footprint, and helps foster a sustainable lifestyle. Or save your wine bottles, cut with a glass cuter to desired height, and sand the rough edges for homemade glass tumblers.

And, of course, a few more cocktail and drink recipes to fill those tumblers!
