Notes

This recipe does not need to be followed exactly. 
  • Adjust the amount of Elderflower liqueur based on the size of your glass and your taste. 
  • We approximated 6 oz of Prosecco, but really just fill the glass to the top.  The amount can vary depending on your glass.
  • Add as much mint and lime slices as you desire!
  • For a non-alcoholic version, replace the elderflower liqueur with elderflower simple syrup, and replace the prosecco with club soda and a splash of lemonade or limeade.
