Elderflower Spritz Shot
About the Elderflower Spritz Shot
The most elegant pour on the list. Floral elderflower liqueur and a little gin form a delicate, botanical base, fresh lemon keeps it crisp, and a top of chilled prosecco makes it dance. It is light, aromatic and just fizzy enough, a shot that feels at home at a wedding rather than a frat party.
Getting it right
- Build it in the glass and add the sparkling wine last so it keeps its bubbles.
- Keep the prosecco cold; a warm top goes flat instantly.
- A thin lemon twist expressed over the top adds an aromatic lift worth the extra few seconds.
Variations
- Leave out the gin for an even softer, lower-proof version.
- Swap lemon for a splash of grapefruit for a slightly bitter, Aperol-adjacent edge.
A gorgeous wedding and bachelorette pour. Browse more gin shots if botanicals are your thing.
Substitutions
- Vodka for the gin.
- Club soda for a non-wine sparkle.
