Fill a wine glass with ice.
Place the mint leaves in the palm of one hand and gently whack them with the other hand to release the oils and flavor. Then, hand tear the leaves and place in the glass.
Add 1 ounce elderflower liqueur, 2 ounces sparkling water or seltzer, and lime slices.
Fill the glass to top with prosecco and give a gentle stir. Serve immediately and enjoy!
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.
