Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 10 oz elderflower liqueur
- 5 oz fresh lime juice
- 2 bottles prosecco (about 1.5 liters total)
Fresh Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh mint leaves
- 3 limes, cut into thin wheels
Other
- Ice, a few cups, as needed
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a large pitcher or beverage dispenser, pour in the elderflower liqueur and fresh lime juice. Add the fresh mint leaves and lime wheels to infuse the drink with their bright, herbal, and citrusy flavors. Stir the mixture well to blend all the flavors together.
- Add Prosecco: Slowly top the mixture with two bottles of chilled prosecco. Gently mix to combine but avoid stirring too vigorously to preserve the sparkling bubbles.
- Add Ice and Serve: Fill the pitcher with a few cups of ice until it is mostly full to keep the drink cold and refreshing. Serve the spritz immediately to prevent the prosecco from going flat and ensure the best bubbly experience.
Notes
- Use a chilled prosecco to keep the drink crisp and cold without needing too much ice.
- For a less sweet spritz, reduce the amount of elderflower liqueur slightly.
- Gently muddle the mint leaves before adding for an extra burst of mint flavor.
- Serve in wine glasses with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel for a decorative touch.
- Consume promptly for the best fizz and freshness.
