Add some holiday cheer to your party menu with this Gin, Elderflower and Prosecco Cocktail!
Simple truth: Everyone loves bubbles. And drinking bubbles with friends and family makes them even better.
Ever get tired of the same old drinks, but don’t want to serve something that has a ton of ingredients and is putzy to make? Try this Gin, Elderflower and Prosecco Cocktail.
This is my drink of the season, and I definitely think you should add it to your collection. The elderflower adds a subtle, sweet undertone, and the Prosecco bubbles lighten up the drink nicely.
Looking for a stiff drink? Add just a bit of Prosecco. Want a lighter drink? Be generous with your bubbles.
Usually garnishes are just for looks, but this is one drink where they really complete the cocktail. But don’t worry, they aren’t a lot of work. All you need is a squeeze of lime juice and a fancy sugar-coated rim to make the drink look as impressive as it tastes. Anyway you pour it, you can’t go wrong.
Here’s hoping that you find an opportunity to share this drink with good friends and family this holiday season. Cheers!
