White Linen
Chicago, United States|Prep Time: 4 min
White Linen was developed during the modern craft-cocktail revival as a lighter seasonal alternative to heavier citrus highballs. Fresh cucumber adds a clean garden-like freshness while elderflower liqueur introduces floral sweetness that balances lime acidity and soda lift. The result is a relaxed daytime cocktail designed for warm weather drinking and easy social settings
