Method

Preparation

Prepare the Cucumber

Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Slice it into thin rounds, setting aside a few slices for garnish.

Muddle the Herbs

In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh spearmint and lemon balm leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and release their oils, being careful not to shred them.

Add Sugar and Cucumber

Add the sliced cucumber and granulated sugar to the shaker with the muddled herbs. Muddle gently again to combine the flavors.

Mixing

Combine Ingredients

Pour in the elderflower liqueur into the shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid.

Shake the Mixture

Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, ensuring that the mixture is well chilled.

Serving

Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Top with Prosecco, allowing the bubbles to gently mix with the drink.

Garnish and Enjoy

Garnish with the reserved cucumber slices and a sprig of fresh spearmint. Serve immediately and enjoy your Verdant Spritz!
