Cocktails in coupe glasses with sugar rims and a lime wedge for garnish.

Ingredients

elderflower, superfine sugar, limes, prosecco and gin on a black surface.

Ingredient notes:

Gin- Use your favorite as the taste of it shines through in this drink.
Elderflower Liqueur- One of our favorite liqueurs that adds a light, sweet floral taste.
Prosecco often has a lighter, fruitier flavor than Champagne and easily mixes with ingredients like fruit juices and other liquors.
Lime Wedges do double duty here so please don't forget them. Simply squeeze one lime wedge in the cocktail and add a second wedge for the garnish.
Superfine Sugar- sugar garnishes aren't a lot of work and are an easy way to impress your guests
