Refreshing Grapefruit Elderflower Spritz

This tart and sparkling beverage is the perfect choice to sip on a hot afternoon. The florals of the elderflower liqueur with the tartness of the grapefruit meld perfectly with the sweet bubbles of prosecco!

So when you are needing something other than an Aperol spritz to cool you down this is a great refreshing option to try!

Ingredients

• Fresh Grapefruit - For garnish, you will want to add a slice to your glass. So you will want at least one grapefruit for slices of grapefruit. 
• Elderflower Liqueur - One of the more popular brands of elderflower liqueur is St-Germain although there are also other brands to choose from. This is always a nice liqueur to have in your home bar, it always makes for a nice floral cocktail. 
• Fresh Grapefruit Juice - Pink or Ruby Red Grapefruit works best for squeezing fresh grapefruit juice. You can use bottled grapefruit juice, if you are buying the juice I recommend a cold fresh pressed juice (ruby red grapefruit juice works best).
• Prosecco - For best results ensure the prosecco is chilled.

Instructions

Fill a wine glass with ice, this can be a stemless glass. Pour 2 ounces of fresh grapefruit juice and 1 ounce of elderflower liqueur over the ice.

Pour 3 to 4 ounces of Prosecco slowly into the glass. Tuck the slice of grapefruit into the top of the glass for a gorgeous finishing touch.

Just enough to slightly mix the juice and liqueur—don’t overdo it or you’ll lose the fizz! Serve immediately and enjoy.
