Notes
- Mint Tips: Lightly clap the mint leaves between your hands before adding them to the drink. This releases the oils and enhances their aroma.
- Mocktail Option: Replace Prosecco with sparkling apple cider and elderflower liqueur with elderflower cordial for a non-alcoholic version.
- Batch Option: Multiply the ingredients to make a pitcher for gatherings. Add soda water just before serving to maintain the fizz.
