This is the perfect summer drink to serve guests during the warmer weather and BBQ season.  Deeply refreshing and very easy to make.

Ingredients:

• 1 part gin
• A glass half-filled with ice
• Good splash of elderflower cordial
• Several mint leaves
• Lime wedge
• 3 parts Prosecco or any Brut sparkling wine (non-sweet)
• Soda water

Method:

• Pour a generous measure of gin into a glass half-filled with ice.
• Add a good splash of elderflower cordial.
• Tuck in several mint leaves, squeeze over a lime wedge and drop it in.
• Top up with prosecco and add a splash of soda water

NB Can omit the soda water if using a very dry sparkling wine as I find it’s refreshing enough on its own and I don’t like diluting the flavours.  Cheers.
