No link to elderberry liqueur provided, and all I really know about elderberries is that apparently my father smells of them?

Give us a steer, Simon. Circling the possibility of — whisper it —figuring something out for myself. (For clarity: this would be bad and should not be allowed to happen.)

No problem. I've added a link to Rothman & Winter Orchard Elderberry Liqueur.

Beautifully rich and delicate at the same time...and perfectly balanced. We didn't have Elderberry liqueur so, on a whim, substituted Davidson Plum Aperitivo and a mist of Elderflower liqueur. Really delicious for us.
