Equipment

First, grab a cocktail shaker. It helps mix the ingredients well.
Next, use a jigger. It’s great for measuring and makes sure you get the right amount of each ingredient.
A strainer is necessary to keep ice and fruit bits out of your drink.

Don’t forget a citrus juicer. Fresh orange juice is key here.
Lastly, grab a glass for serving, preferably a spritz or wine glass. These glasses help show off the drink’s lovely color.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for the Orange Elderflower Spritz:

1.5 oz Orange juice freshly squeezed
1 oz Elderflower liqueur
4 oz Prosecco or any sparkling wine
Ice cubes
Orange slices for garnish
Fresh mint leaves

These ingredients blend together to create a crisp and aromatic drink. The elderflower liqueur adds a sweet and aromatic touch.

Instructions

First, fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes. Pour in the orange juice and the elderflower liqueur.

Cover and shake for about 15 seconds until well mixed.
Strain the mixture into your serving glass filled with ice. Slowly pour in the Prosecco to maintain its bubbles. Give it a gentle stir.
Garnish with a slice of orange and a few mint leaves.

The cocktail is now ready to enjoy! Take a sip and then let me know what you think. Cheers! 🥂

Notes

This cocktail is perfect for hot summer days, or whenever you need a refreshing drink. You can easily adjust the sweetness by adding more or less elderflower liqueur.

Feel free to try different sparkling wines if you prefer something other than Prosecco. This drink pairs well with light appetizers like bruschetta or cheese platters.

Tasting Notes

I just tried the Orange Elderflower Spritz Cocktail, and it’s fabulous! 🍹 Here’s what I loved about it.

The first sip is all about the citrus burst. It’s fresh and zesty, waking up my taste buds instantly. The orange flavor is bright and lively.

Next, I noticed the delicate floral notes from the elderflower. 🌼 It’s subtle but adds a gentle sweetness that balances the citrus nicely.

There’s a touch of effervescence, too. The bubbles give it a light, refreshing feel, making each sip delightful.

The balance is perfect; it’s neither too sweet nor too tart. Just right for a warm afternoon or a cozy gathering.
