    Test Kitchen Tips:
    For a boozy take on this classic coffee mocktail, substitute 1/2 cup elderflower liqueur for the elderflower syrup and mix in 1/4 cup (2 ounces) cachaça.
    Elderflower syrup is made with sugar, water and fresh elder flowers but typically can be purchased at specialty beverage stores or Amazon.
