Notes

  • Chill your ingredients: Ensure your Prosecco, soda water, and syrup are cold before mixing for the best taste.
  • Don’t over-stir: Too much stirring can flatten the drink’s bubbles.
  • Customize your sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add an extra splash of elderflower syrup.
  • Mocktail version: Replace Prosecco with non-alcoholic sparkling wine or grape juice for a delicious alcohol-free version.
