½ oz elderflower liqueur (like St-Germain)
Sparkling rosé or prosecco, to top

Top with sparkling rosé and garnish like you’re headlining.
Tips
Dial up the drama: Add edible glitter or rim the glass with citrus sugar
No mint syrup? Muddle a few mint leaves with sugar before shaking
Hosting? Batch the base ingredients and chill. Top each glass with bubbly to serve
Spirit swap: Try elderflower gin or even Aperol for a slightly more bitter, sunset-hued version
Serving Tips

Garnish: Mint sprig + dehydrated orange wheel or orange twist
