Equipment
- Bar spoon (optional)
- Cocktail serving glass (Spritz style) (or large wine glass)
- Knife and cutting board (if using fresh citrus)
Ingredients
Garnish
- 2-3 slices fresh lime
- 1-3 sprigs fresh mint
Cocktail
- 2 ounces elderflower liqueur
- 3 ounces Prosecco (or other sparkling white wine)
- 1 ounce seltzer
Instructions
Garnish
- Prepare your lime slices and fresh mint sprigs, and set them aside. If you need to refresh your mint, submerge it in ice water while you make the drink.
Cocktail
- Add ice to your serving glass.
- Measure and add your elderflower liqueur to the glass.
- Add in the Prosecco, and then the seltzer.
- Give the mixture a gentle stir with a bar spoon.
- Add the lime slices to the drink. You can cut a slit in of of the slices and attach it to the rim of the glass for an extra fancy serve.
- Lightly clap the mint sprigs in between your hands, and add it to the drink for a final flourish. Cheers!
Notes
- Although I've made this drink by adding the liqueur first, you can certainly start with the Prosecco. Many people swear by adding the Prosecco and seltzer first, because otherwise the liqueur will stay on the bottom of the drink unless you give it a gentle stir.
- You can make a DIY version of elderflower liqueur by combining 1 part elderflower syrup (I use d'arbo brand) with 1 part plain vodka. Great if you want to control the amount of sugar you use!
