Print Recipe

A light, floral, and citrusy cocktail featuring crisp prosecco, fragrant elderflower liqueur, and a bright lemon twist. This easy, five-minute drink is perfect for brunches, celebrations, or a refreshing treat any time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (750 ml) bottle prosecco, chilled (about 25 oz)
  • 2 oz elderflower liqueur (St-Germain or similar) per cocktail
  • 1 fresh lemon (for twist and juice)
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Chill your prosecco in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or in an ice bucket with water and ice for 20–30 minutes.
  2. Wash and dry the lemon. Using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, peel a long, thin strip of zest for garnish. Slice the lemon in half and squeeze out about 1/4 teaspoon (1–2 ml) of juice for each cocktail.
  3. Pour 2 oz elderflower liqueur into each glass using a jigger. For a lighter flavor, use 1.5 oz.
  4. Add 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice to each glass.
  5. Slowly top each glass with 4–5 oz (120–150 ml) chilled prosecco, pouring down the inside of the glass to preserve bubbles.
  6. Gently stir with a long spoon if needed to combine.
  7. Add 1–2 ice cubes if desired (optional).
  8. Garnish with the lemon twist and a sprig of fresh mint if desired.
  9. Serve immediately while the bubbles are fresh.

Notes

For best results, use a dry (brut) prosecco and fresh lemon. Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of elderflower liqueur or lemon juice. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute prosecco with sparkling water and liqueur with elderflower cordial. Garnish with berries or herbs for a fun twist. Serve immediately for maximum fizz.
