Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass and mint
Select a large wine glass or Collins-style glass. Add the fresh mint leaves to the empty glass. Gently bruise the mint with a wooden muddler or the back of a spoon 2–3 times to release aroma — avoid shredding the leaves.
Add ice
Fill the glass with large ice cubes (about 1 cup) so the drink stays cold and dilutes slowly.
Measure and pour
Pour 1 oz St. Germain elderflower liqueur and 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice over the ice and mint.
Add Prosecco
Slowly pour 4 oz chilled Prosecco into the glass. Pour gently down the side to preserve bubbles.
Top with soda
Add 2 oz chilled soda water to taste for brightness and a lighter finish. Stir gently once with a bar spoon to combine — do not over-stir to keep effervescence.
