The Citrus Berry Breeze is a refreshing cocktail that combines the tartness of fresh lemon with the sweetness of mixed berries, balanced by gin and elderflower liqueur. To make it, shake 1.5 oz of gin, 1 oz elderflower liqueur, 1 oz lemon juice, and 1 oz mixed berry puree with ice. Strain into a glass over ice, top with a splash of club soda, and garnish with fresh berries and a lemon wheel for a bright, fun, and fruity cocktail.
