What it takes to be kosher? We have in Montreal a very nice elderflower liqueur done by Rosemont distillerie.
Maybe it is kosher! Proud quebecer as i am, i use it instead of the french classic one.

Thanks for your reply. The whole production process would have to be overseen by an individual certified in the laws of kosher after which it would be "stamped" with a seal of approval (the logo would be added to the product label). Thanks for your suggestion, but it doesn't look as though it is certified.

As I cannot get a hold of any kosher Elderflower liqueur, I've picked up a bottle of Monin elderflower syrup and am hoping to substitute it in this cocktail.

I've never tried elderflower liqueur, so I have nothing to compare it to. Would anyone know or suggest how I'd go about the substitution? (I know it'll turn out less alcoholic, but I'm going more for overall taste). Maybe a bit more base alcohol or less syrup than liqueur? If so, how much?

Thank you so much, Simon. And I shouldn't increase any other alcohol? I knew it wouldn't be exactly the same, but until an elderflower liqueur gets certified, this is what I have.
