  • Release the oils in the mint leaves by clapping them between your hands, then add it to each of the glass and top each with 1.5 oz elderflower liqueur.
  • Allow this to sit for 1-2 minutes to infuse while you open your Prosecco.
  • Fill the glasses with ice and add a lime wheel or two into the ice.

Notes

Expert Tips
  • Chill the glass and ingredients. Nothing will elevate your at-home cocktail endeavors more than a chilled glass, prosecco, and sparkling water. If desired, you can also chill the St-Germain!
  • Stir, don't shake! The mellow flavors deserve gentle mixing, and agitating the prosecco can cause it to lose its effervescence. I recommend using a bar spoon or teaspoon. There's no need to put it in a shaker or vigorously stir it together.
  • Elevate that garnish! Topping the drinks with fresh mint, edible flowers, lime twists, or berries adds a little aesthetic pizzaz to aperitivo hour!

Batch Instructions
  1. In a large pitcher, combine the fresh mint, St. Germain, and lime juice. Gently cover the pitcher, refrigerate, and allow it to infuse for up to 30 minutes. 
  2. When ready to serve, scoop ice into wine glasses, add 2 ½ oz of the St. Germain and mint mixture, fill with Prosecco, and top off with sparkling water or club soda. Garnish with mint and lime, and serve!
