In a cocktail shaker, muddle 3 thin slices of fresh cucumber and 2 sprigs cilantro. Add the vodka, elderflower liqueur, agave nectar and lime juice. Shake and strain into an ice filled glass. Top with soda water or ginger beer and stir gently. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro wrapped with a thin slice of fresh cucumber.

Add ice, gin, grapefruit juice, soda water and elderflower liqueur to a shaker. Stir contents vigorously (do not shake as the soda water could bubble over) until they are very well blended. Strain contents into a martini glass, serve up, and top with an edible flower or a lemon twist for a pop of color.
