Servings 1
Ingredients
- 6-8 fresh mint leaves, plus more to garnish
- 1 ounce St. Germain Elderflower liqueur
- 4 ounces Processo, chilled
- 1 ounce sparkling water or soda water, chilled
- slice of lime
Instructions
- Prepare the mint. Strip 6-8 mint leaves from the stalk, and firmly slap the mint on the back of your hand or palm. This releases the oils to make the mint more aromatic.
- Infuse the mint in elderflower liquor. Add the St. Germain and mint leaves into a large wine glass. Gently muddle the mint and let sit for 3 minutes to infuse.
- Top off with bubbly. Add ice cubes, the Prosecco, and sparkling water. Stir briefly and gently to combine.
- Garnish and serve. Garnish with a mint sprig and lime wedge
Notes
- Muddle the mint leaves - When muddling herbs like mint you want to be delicate, pressing the leaves gently with a cocktail muddler or the back of a bar spoon to release their essential oils.
- Chill everything - Make sure to chill the Prosecco and sparkling water before making this drink to keep the cocktail cool.
