For an extra layer of complexity, consider using a high-quality, artisanal gin. The botanicals will complement the other flavors beautifully. Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your elderflower liqueur and your personal preferences. Chilling your cocktail glass beforehand will help keep your drink colder for longer. Experiment with different types of cucumbers to find your favorite flavor profile.
