- Then add the Prosecco.

Notes
- You can easily eyeball this cocktail once you've made it a few times. Just add the amount of liqueur you like, a splash of sparkling water, the ice, then fill as desired with Prosecco and garnish! SO easy!
- For a virgin cocktail, use elderflower cordial in place of the St Germain liqueur and sparkling water for the Prosecco
- Feel free to use lemon if you don't have (or like) lime.
