Ingredients
6 oz Prosecco, chilled
2 oz soda water or sparkling water
2 oz elderflower syrup (Like St-Germain or a non-alcoholic elderflower cordial)
A few sprigs of fresh mint
2-4 lime slices
Ice cubesInstructions
-
Chill your glasses – Pop your wine glasses in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes while you prepare everything else.
-
Add mint and lime – Place 3–4 fresh mint leaves and 1–2 lime slices in each glass. Gently muddle with a spoon to release the mint’s aroma, but don’t crush it too much.
-
Add ice – Fill the glass about halfway with ice cubes to keep the cocktail cold and crisp.
-
Pour in elderflower syrup – Add 1 oz (30 ml) of elderflower syrup per glass. If using elderflower liqueur like St-Germain, it will give a slightly boozier, more floral result.
-
Top with Prosecco – Slowly pour in 3 oz (90 ml) of chilled Prosecco per glass.
-
Add soda water – Finish with 1 oz (30 ml) of soda or sparkling water for that light bubbly texture.
-
Stir and garnish – Give the drink a gentle stir and garnish with a fresh mint sprig and another lime slice.
