Ingredients

  • 10 oz elderflower liqueur
  • 5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 2 bottles prosecco
  • 1 bunch fresh mint leaves
  • 3 limes, cut into thin wheels
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large pitcher or beverage dispenser, combine the elderflower liqueur, fresh lime juice, mint leaves, and lime wheels. Stir well to blend the flavors.
  2. Step 2: Carefully top the mixture with the two bottles of prosecco and gently mix together to combine without losing the bubbles.
  3. Step 3: Add a few cups of ice to the pitcher until it is mostly full, keeping the drink chilled.
  4. Step 4: Serve immediately to ensure the prosecco stays bubbly and fresh.

Tips & Variations

  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the elderflower liqueur with elderflower cordial and replace prosecco with sparkling water or soda.
  • Chill all ingredients beforehand to keep the spritz cold longer without diluting it with too much ice.
  • Add extra fresh mint or a splash of soda water for a lighter cocktail.

Storage

This spritz is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. Avoid storing after adding prosecco to prevent it from going flat. If necessary, keep the elderflower mixture separate and add prosecco right before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
