Prosecco And Elderflower Cordial Cocktail Recipe
This Prosecco and elderflower cocktail is simple for anyone to make at home. I use only a few basic tools and fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
Equipment
- Champagne or wine glasses
- Measuring jigger or small measuring cup
- Long stirring spoon
- Ice bucket (for chilling Prosecco, optional)
- Small funnel (optional, for easier pouring)
- Bar towel (helps wipe any spills)
- Citrus zester or sharp knife, if adding a lemon twist
Ingredients
- 100 ml chilled Prosecco
- 25 ml elderflower cordial
- Ice cubes optional
- Lemon twist or fresh mint sprig for garnish optional
Instructions
- Chill the Prosecco well before serving.
- Place 2–3 ice cubes into each glass, if using ice.
- Pour 25 ml elderflower cordial into the glass.
- Top up each glass with 100 ml Prosecco, pouring slowly to avoid too many bubbles.
- Stir gently with a long spoon to combine.
- Garnish with a lemon twist or mint sprig.
Notes
For the best taste, I always use chilled Prosecco and quality elderflower cordial. If I want a lighter drink, I add a splash of soda water.
This recipe is easy to double or triple for more people. I sometimes experiment with different garnishes, like a slice of cucumber.
Honestly, I stick to simple, fresh ingredients since they make a big difference in the final flavor. I avoid shaking or stirring too hard, since that flattens the bubbles and, well, nobody wants that.
