When soda is the base, there is nowhere for a heavy syrup pour to hide. Fifteen millilitres of elderflower syrup is the ceiling. The drink should smell like flowers and taste mostly like cold soda and lime.

Serve it in a wine glass anyway. The shape is part of how a spritz works at a table: everyone has the same kind of glass, some with wine and some without.
