Steps

  1. 1
    Lay the mint leaves on one palm and clap once to release their oils, then drop them into a large wine glass; muddling them makes the drink grassy and bitter.
  2. 2
    Add the elderflower syrup and the lime slice, then fill the glass with ice.
  3. 3
    Pour in the prosecco, then top with the soda water.
  4. 4
    Lift once from the bottom with a bar spoon to bring the syrup up without knocking out the bubbles, and garnish with a sprig of mint.
