Notes
- Choose Prosecco DOC Spumante labeled Brut for the driest, cleanest balance. Extra Dry is slightly sweeter despite its name.
- For a lighter drink, reduce the elderflower liqueur to 3/4 ounce and add another ounce of soda.
- For a zero-proof version, use alcohol-free sparkling wine and elderflower cordial; start with 1/2 ounce cordial because it can be very sweet.
- Nutrition is an estimate and varies by bottle and liqueur.
