About this product
Delicate. Timeless. A whisper of summer in a bottle.
Delicate, fragrant, and irresistibly charming, Bordiga Elisir di Sambuco captures the fleeting magic of elderflower season in the Italian Alps. Each spring, when the mountains awaken and the air fills with the scent of blossoms, Bordiga’s distillers hand-pick wild elderflowers from pristine alpine meadows surrounding their historic distillery in Piedmont. These flowers are then carefully infused in fine alcohol, creating an elixir that feels like bottled sunshine and mountain air.
The result is a liqueur of remarkable balance — fresh, floral, and gently sweet, with notes of honey, pear, and a subtle hint of spice. Unlike mass-produced elderflower spirits, Bordiga’s Elisir di Sambuco is crafted in small batches, preserving the natural perfume and golden hue of the flowers. It’s an authentic taste of Italian springtime, elegant and versatile — perfect in sparkling cocktails, drizzled over ice, or enjoyed with prosecco for a simple yet stunning serve.
Now delighting palates in Ireland, this elixir bridges the Alps and the Emerald Isle — a celebration of nature’s most delicate beauty, reborn in liquid form.
Why we love it:
This is elderflower as it should be — real, refined, and rooted in nature. With no artificial flavourings, Bordiga’s sambuco is miles apart from commercial syrups. It’s the floral note your cocktail cabinet deserves.
