Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium ripe peach, sliced
- 1 oz (30 ml) elderflower cordial
- 4 oz (120 ml) Prosecco or dry sparkling wine (Brut or Extra Brut)
- 2 oz (60 ml) sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
- ½ oz (15 ml) fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the peach and slice into thin wedges, about ¼-inch thick. Set aside a couple of slices for garnish.
- Place 2-3 peach slices at the bottom of a wine glass or highball glass. Add 1 oz elderflower cordial and optional lemon juice. Gently press the peach slices with the back of a spoon once or twice to release juice (do not over-muddle).
- Fill the glass completely with ice cubes.
- Slowly pour 4 oz chilled Prosecco over the ice to preserve bubbles.
- Top with 2 oz sparkling water, pouring gently.
- Stir very gently with a bar spoon or long spoon for 2-3 rotations to combine without losing carbonation.
- Garnish with reserved peach slice and a fresh mint sprig. Serve immediately.
Notes
Chill all ingredients and glasses for at least 30 minutes before making. Use a dry Brut Prosecco to balance sweetness. Do not over-muddle the peach. Make each glass individually right before serving to preserve bubbles. For a non-alcoholic version, replace Prosecco with more sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine.
