It's summer—time to cool off with ice-cold drinks! This is the season for relaxation and sipping cocktails with friends. After a spring upended by the coronavirus pandemic, let's raise a glass to reclaimed freedom. Elevate the moment with a White Spritz, swapping the classic bitter Aperol for delicate elderflower liqueur or syrup.
This year, elderflower takes center stage. Paired with Prosecco, it creates a fresh, fruity, and floral delight that's worlds away from the ordinary.
Depending on your preference and pantry staples, craft a Hugo cocktail (with elderflower syrup) or the Saint-Germain (named for the signature liqueur). Blended with refreshing, sparkling Prosecco, this innovative cocktail delivers sweet fruitiness and floral notes. Best of all, it's simple to prepare for casual evenings with friends. Here's how:
Pro tip: Prepare plenty of ice cubes ahead for maximum chill.
Ingredients:
– 4 cL Saint-Germain elderflower liqueur (or syrup for a Hugo)
– 6 cL Prosecco
– 6 cL sparkling water
Fill a glass with ice, combine all ingredients, and add a lemon or orange zest for bright acidity. Stir gently and savor!
