The Elderflower Spritz is a delicate harmony of floral notes and effervescent bubbles, inspired by the soft meadows of Europe where the elderflower thrives. Its sophisticated blend brings a refreshing twist to sunny afternoons and elegant dinners.
Fill a large wine glass with ice, preferably large, clear cubes to chill the drink efficiently.
Pour in 60 ml (2 fl oz) of chilled Prosecco directly over the ice, letting it cascade gently.
Add 60 ml (2 fl oz) of Elderflower Liqueur, opting for St-Germain for the most authentic floral essence.
Top off with 30 ml (1 fl oz) of chilled club soda to add a refreshing effervescence.
Gently stir with a bar spoon to blend, taking care not to disturb the bubbles too vigorously.
Garnish with a fresh lemon slice and a sprig of mint—slap the mint gently between your palms to release its aromatic oils before placing it in the drink.

Notes
For a sweeter touch, adjust the ratios by adding more elderflower liqueur. Using elderflower tonic water instead of club soda can enhance the floral aroma.
