Yes. Mix gin, elderflower cordial, grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, and lime juice in a pitcher and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Stir well and serve over ice with orange twists.
A London Dry style gin is ideal, as its juniper-forward botanical profile complements the elderflower and citrus without overpowering them.
Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice is best. If using bottled, choose juice with no added sugar or preservatives for the clearest flavor.
St-Germain liqueur can replace elderflower cordial, though it's less sweet—use the same volume but adjust sweetness by tasting.
Use a vegetable peeler to cut a thin, long strip of orange zest. Twist it over the drink to express oils, then drop it in or lay it on the rim.
