I know there was a recent post on Brooklynian about buying Bitters - but does anyone know where I can buy Elderflower Syrup? I want to make my own version of Weather Up's delicious Botham Fizz, but can't find Elderflower Syrup anywhere.

Thanks so much for any suggestions!

    my husband says that our apartment is a speakeasy but he doesn't tell anyone about it. But his rule is that if someone buzzes our apartment and asks for a cocktail, he'll make them anything they want. So, whynot, start buzzing! I'm sure you'll eventually find the most exclusive speakeasy in NYC....

    You make it yourself in season (or at least my wife does). Which is approximately now.

    I wanted to get to IKEA since it looked cheap on their website, but didn't feel like treking out there on a bus on such a beautiful day. Blue Apron did have it -- $14.50 for a large bottle. Not cheap, but when drinks are $11 each at the bar, it will pay for itself in no time..

    Dean and Deluca sells the syrup at their SoHo store, though I am not sure how the price compares to Blue apron
