- 6 mint leaves
- 6 cherries, pitted
- 2 limes, sliced
- 4 ounces cherry simple syrup
- 2 ounces white rum
- 8 ounces Prosecco
- ice cubes
Combine the mint leaves, cherries and lime slices in a sturdy glass. Crush the ingredients using a muddler or wooden spoon to release their flavors.
Add the cherry simple syrup and rum. Pour in the prosecco slowly until glass is almost filled. Add ice and top with a little mint and a cherry to garnish.
Serve immediately.
- Do not press the mint too much or you may risk the mint leaves becoming bitter.
- If you’re interested in making this recipe but are refraining from alcohol, you can simply omit the rum and switch the Prosecco with seltzer water. I promise it will taste just as good!
- For an added kick of flavor, try adding half a cup of flavored sparkling water or club soda instead of Prosecco.
