Fill a large wine glass with ice. Add a lime wheel and a sprig of mint.
Pour in 1 oz elderflower liqueur.
Top with 3 oz chilled prosecco.
Add 1–2 oz soda water to taste. Give a gentle stir to combine.
Clap a second mint sprig between your palms to release aroma. Tuck it into the glass and serve immediately.
Chill everything. Cold bottles and cold glasses keep bubbles lively and dilution in check.
In a large pitcher, combine elderflower liqueur and lime wheels. Add a handful of mint and gently press with a spoon—do not muddle to mush.
Right before serving, add the full bottle of prosecco and the soda water. Stir gently just once or twice.
Fill glasses with ice. Pour the spritz over, garnish with fresh mint and extra lime.
Use dry prosecco: It balances the sweetness of elderflower.
Don’t over-stir: Gentle mixing preserves the bubbles.
Clap your mint: A quick smack releases aroma without bitterness.
Add soda last: Keeps the spritz lively longer.
Keep ice large: Larger cubes melt slower; crushed ice dilutes too fast.
