If you are looking for a spritz that isn’t too sweet, you are in the right place. With its earthy herbs, garden-fresh aroma, and delicate sparkle, the Emerald Garden Fizz is as refreshing as it is elegant.
It’s a minimalist cocktail that relies on the bright beauty of herbs like mint, basil, and rosemary to shine through, without relying on extra liqueurs and strong syrups.
With just a splash of homemade emerald syrup and a generous pour of chilled Prosecco or Cava (make sure you buy the good stuff or it will just take like cheap wine), it’s easy to make and even easier to sip.
Whether you’re hosting a garden party, clinking glasses at brunch, or winding down on the porch, this green-hued fizz adds a touch of sophistication without any fuss.
Want to make it a mocktail? Swap the sparkling wine for soda water and enjoy a just-as-refreshing botanical spritz.
