Ingredients
- Chilled prosecco, 3 ounces
- 2 ounces of elderflower liqueur, such St-Germain
- 1 ounce of sparkling water
- ½ ounce of fresh orange juice
- Orange slices that are thin (for decoration)
- Fresh rosemary or edible flowers (optional, for garnish)
Tools
- Glass of wine
- Jigger for measuring
- Stirring spoon
Instructions
- Put ½ oz of fresh orange juice into a glass of wine.
- Put 2 ounces of elderflower liqueur on top of the orange juice in the glass.
- Slowly pour 3 ounces of iced prosecco into the glass, letting it bubble up.
- For more fizz, add 1 oz of sparkling water.
- Add thin orange slices and a sprig of rosemary or edible flowers on the top.
The drink is even more pleasant when the prosecco and juice are cold.
Variations & Tips
- Want it to be sweeter? Add 1/2 ounce of honey or simple syrup.
- Get really fancy! Add sugar or edible glitter to the rim of the glass.
- Make it without booze! Change prosecco to sparkling white grape juice.
- No booze? Use club soda or sparkling lemonade.
- More citrus? Add a little lemon or grapefruit juice.
- Herbal twist? Instead of rosemary, add fresh basil or thyme.
- Try new things! For a new twist, add a dash of grapefruit juice or peach puree.
- Fresh is best! If you’re making it ahead of time, mix everything together except for the prosecco and sparkling water. Add those right before serving.
That’s all there is to it; your Springtime Spritz is ready to drink! It’s bright, flowery, and lemony, making it great for any spring event. Give it a shot, snap a picture, and tell me how it went.Thanks! 🍊✨
