Strawberry Prosecco Spritz

Ingredients (per glass):

3 fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 oz Aperol or elderflower liqueur (optional for flavor twist)
3 oz chilled prosecco
1 oz club soda or sparkling water
1/2 oz simple syrup (adjust based on sweetness of strawberries)
Ice cubes
Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

Muddle the sliced strawberries in the bottom of a wine glass or large cocktail glass until they release their juice.

Add ice cubes to the glass.

Pour in the Aperol or elderflower liqueur (if using) and simple syrup.

Top with chilled prosecco, then add a splash of club soda for that light spritz finish.

Stir gently to combine and garnish with a whole strawberry or a few fresh mint leaves.
