Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the elderflower liqueur?
Yes, if you don't have elderflower liqueur, you can use a different floral liqueur or a simple syrup infused with a floral element like rose or hibiscus. This will change the flavor profile, but still create a delicious and unique cocktail.
What kind of gin is best for this recipe?
A London Dry Gin or a more floral-forward gin pairs well. Empress 1908 Gin is an excellent choice as its botanical profile complements the elderflower and its color creates a stunning visual effect.
Can I make a large batch of this cocktail?
Yes, you can easily scale this recipe to make a larger batch. Combine all ingredients except the Prosecco in a pitcher and chill. When you are ready to serve, pour the chilled mixture into glasses and top with cold Prosecco.
