Instructions

  1. Step 1: Chill a flute glass in the freezer for 5 minutes to enhance the effervescence. In a cocktail shaker, combine 3 oz Prosecco, 0.75 oz elderflower liqueur, and 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice. Shake gently for 10 seconds to mix without losing carbonation.
  2. Step 2: Strain the mixture into the chilled flute glass, leaving any sediment behind. The drink should bubble gently as it settles.
  3. Step 3: Gently place a fresh lemon balm sprig on top, allowing its subtle aroma to mingle with the drink. Sip slowly to fully imbibe the delicate floral notes.
