Build the spritz
Fill a large wine glass or tulip spritz glass about two-thirds full with the large ice cubes (about 4–5 cubes).
Pour 1.5 oz elderflower liqueur into the glass over the ice.
Add 0.75 oz Italicus to the glass.
Gently pour 3 oz chilled Prosecco over the liqueurs. Pour slowly down the side or over the back of a spoon to preserve bubbles and create a layered look if desired.
Top with 0.5 oz chilled club soda or sparkling water to add a light, refreshing effervescence. Stir gently once with a bar spoon (one or two slow spins) to combine — do not over-stir to avoid flattening the bubbles.
Garnish & Serve
Optional: nest a small sprig of fresh edible elderflower or a mint sprig atop the ice for aroma and visual appeal. Do not muddle.
Serve immediately while chilled and effervescent.
