Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces Elderflower Liqueur such as St Germain
  • 6-8 mint leaves plus more for garnish
  • 1 lime 3-4 thin slices, plus more for garnish
  • 4 ounces Prosecco
  • 1 ounce club Soda or Sparkling water
  • ice cubes optional

Instructions
 

  • In a wine glass, add mint leaves, 2 ounces of Elderflower Liqueur, and muddle. Muddling the mint leaves releases the natural oils which will enhance the aroma and flavor, this part is key to making the drink.
  • Add 3 slices of lime and stir.
  • *Optional, you can allow the flavors to sit for a few minutes to steep before next steps.
  • Gently pour 4 ounces of chilled prosecco into the glass (pouring slowly will help to keep it bubbly) and top with a splash (1 ounce) of soda water. Gently stir to combine.
  • Add some ice cubes if using and garnish with a lime slice and mint sprigs.
  • Serve immediately and Enjoy!

  • Add lime slices (2-3 limes, sliced), stir, and chill until ready for use.
  • Just before serving, pour in the chilled Prosecco (1 bottle).
  • Prep each glass with mint springs and lime slices. 
  • Pour the prosecco mix into each glass and top with a splash (1 ounce) of freshly opened and chilled soda water/club soda.  You can also add ice to each glass if using.
