Black Bean & Squash Veggie Burgers

We always have people with a variety of eating preferences & palates attending our BBQ's. In response, I've always had fun experimenting with flavors and making new burgers for our get-togethers. This time I want to share one that was tried and tested with our family recently and is sure to be a hit at your summer BBQ's. This soy-free veggie burger is packed with flavor, that plays off the herby cilantro and spicy BBQ sauce, topped with an avocado slice on a sesame seed bun.

Elderflower Pomegranate Sparkler


While in Montreal a few years ago, we were introduced to a very delicious Elderflower and Gin cocktail. It was sweet and perfumey and the gin gave it quite a nice peppery snap. Over the last few months I've been experimenting with making my own gin...no, not the bathtub kind, the flavoring a neutral spirit kind. After a few successful batches of homemade gin and finally finding some decent Elderflower cordial, I decided to try my hand at a light summery gin cocktail similar to the one I'd had. Mixing traditionally made elderflower cordial with acidic pomegranate juice, this refreshingly floral sparkler is the perfect combination of sweet, tart and bubbly; great for relaxing and enjoying on a hot summer evening.

Here is my recipe for Elderflower Pomegranate Sparkler:
Makes 4 Servings

Ingredients:
4 oz. Elderflower Cordial, Belvoir Fruit Farms
8 oz. Pomegranate Juice, unsweetened
4 oz. Gin
12 oz. Ginger Ale
Thinly sliced Strawberries & Grapes for Garnish
Ice

Directions:
1. In a shaker, combined elderflower cordial, pomegranate juice, gin, and ice.
2. Then divide it equally into four glasses with ice, and top with ginger ale.
Garnish with Strawberries and Grapes.
Enjoy!
