Print Recipe

A light, bubbly, and floral cocktail that combines crisp Prosecco with sweet elderflower liqueur and a splash of fresh lemon juice. This easy sparkling party drink is perfect for celebrations, brunches, or any festive occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled Prosecco (dry/brut preferred)
  • 3 oz (90 ml) elderflower liqueur (such as St-Germain)
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) fresh lemon juice (about half a large lemon)
  • 2–4 oz (60–120 ml) sparkling water or club soda (optional, for lighter drinks)
  • Ice (as needed, for serving)
  • Lemon twist or wedge (for garnish, optional)
  • Fresh mint sprig (for garnish, optional)
  • Edible flowers (such as pansies, violets, or elderflowers, for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill your Prosecco, elderflower liqueur, and glasses for 10-20 minutes.
  2. Prepare garnishes: slice lemons into twists or wedges, rinse mint and edible flowers.
  3. Juice the lemon to yield 2 tablespoons of fresh juice.
  4. For each drink, fill a champagne flute or coupe halfway with ice (if desired).
  5. Add 1/2 oz (15 ml) elderflower liqueur and 1 tsp (5 ml) fresh lemon juice to each glass.
  6. Top with 4-5 oz (120-150 ml) chilled Prosecco.
  7. For a lighter cocktail, add a splash (1-2 oz/30-60 ml) sparkling water or club soda.
  8. Gently stir with a bar spoon to combine, being careful not to lose the bubbles.
  9. Garnish with a lemon twist, mint sprig, or edible flower. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use a dry (brut) Prosecco and fresh lemon juice. Chill all ingredients and glassware before serving. Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of elderflower liqueur and lemon juice. Garnish just before serving for maximum freshness. For a non-alcoholic version, use sparkling white grape juice and elderflower cordial. Batch by mixing lemon juice and liqueur in advance, then add Prosecco and garnishes to order.
