Cucumber Elderflower Spritz
Gin, St-Germain, cucumber, and Prosecco in a wine glass. Less formal than a coupe, more picnic-in-the-park. A warm afternoon in a glass.

Why This Pour
This Dreamer variant is more grounded (Earth influence). Cucumber and elderflower are gentle, garden-fresh flavors — Water's natural complexity. Prosecco adds the Air effervescence and social energy. Earth shows in the approachability: this isn't avant-garde, it's inviting. A wine glass over a coupe because it's less formal, more picnic-in-the-park energy.
