  • Top with Prosecco or use a flavored (or plain!) sparkling water. Pour the topper until the drink reaches the rim of the glass (wait a few seconds between pours so that it doesn't bubble over).

Notes

Measurements for the Prosecco in the recipe are an approximation.  Pour directly from the bottle until the glass is filled!
