1
Chill and measure
Chill a large wine glass or spritz glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice while preparing ingredients. Measure out elderflower liqueur, Prosecco, lemon juice, and chilled club soda.
2
If using whole lemons, roll one on the counter to loosen juices, then cut and squeeze to obtain 1/2 oz (about 1 tablespoon) fresh lemon juice. Strain seeds.

3
Fill the chilled glass about halfway with ice (approximately 1 cup).
4
Pour 1.5 oz elderflower liqueur over the ice.
5
Add 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice into the glass.
6
Slowly pour 3 oz chilled Prosecco down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles and create a layered look.
7
Top with 0.5 oz club soda for a light effervescence and gentle dilution; stir once very gently with a bar spoon 2–3 revolutions to combine without losing carbonation.

8
Lightly clap 2 of the mint leaves between your palms to bruise them and release aroma, then tuck them into the drink near the rim so the scent rises as you sip.
9
Float the remaining mint leaf on top for presentation and add a lemon wheel or twist on the rim.
10
Serve immediately while chilled. Optionally provide a small spoon or straw for gentle stirring before drinking.
