2 oz empress gin3/4 oz St‑Germain (or other elderflower liqueur)1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice1/4 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)

3 oz Chilled Prosecco1 to taste Lemon twist or thin wheel1 to taste Edible flower (optional, for garnish)1 cup Ice (for shaking and serving)

Method

Prep

Chill glass

Place a flute or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure the drink stays cold.

If making simple syrup: combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan, heat until sugar dissolves, cool before using (can be made ahead).

Build the Cocktail

Fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice.

Add Empress gin (2 oz), elderflower liqueur (0.75 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.5 oz), and simple syrup (0.25 oz) to the shaker.

Cap and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold. This chills and lightly dilutes the mix so it balances with the bubbles.

Discard ice/water from the chilled glass if used. Fine strain the shaken mixture into the chilled flute or Collins glass, leaving room for Prosecco (pour slowly to preserve bubbles).

Top with 3 oz chilled Prosecco. Pour gently down the side or over the back of a spoon to maintain effervescence.

Garnish & Serve

Express the oils from a lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a quick twist; then drop the twist into the glass or perch it on the rim.

Optionally float an edible flower on top for an elegant presentation.

Serve immediately while effervescent.
