Ingredients:

  • 120 ml (4 oz) Dry Prosecco
  • 30 ml (1 oz) Sparkling Mineral Water
  • 22.5 ml (0.75 oz) Elderflower Syrup (Cordial)
  • 1 medium Fresh Lime, cut into wheels
  • 7 fresh Mint Leaves
  • 1 cup large clear Ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Chill the glass. Place your wine glass in the freezer for 5 minutes. Note: A cold glass prevents the ice from melting instantly and diluting your drink.
  2. Activate the mint. Take 7 fresh Mint Leaves and slap them once sharply between your palms. Note: This releases the oils without making the drink look muddy with broken bits.
  3. Sweeten the base. Pour 22.5 ml Elderflower Syrup into the bottom of the chilled glass.
  4. Add the aromatics. Drop the mint and 1 medium Fresh Lime (cut into wheels) into the syrup.
  5. Build the chill. Fill the glass to the brim with 1 cup large clear Ice cubes.
  6. Pour the wine. Slowly add 120 ml Dry Prosecco, pouring it down the side of the glass. Pour until the wine reaches the top of the ice.
  7. Add the sparkle. Top with 30 ml Sparkling Mineral Water.
  8. The gentle marriage. Lift the spoon from the bottom once, very slowly, to pull the syrup up. Stop when you see the color become uniform.
  9. Garnish with care. Push a lime wheel to the side so it’s visible through the glass.
  10. Serve immediately. Hand it over while the condensation is still thick on the glass.
