Helpful Tips and Variations:

How can I replace the sparkling water? I prefer to replace the sparkling water with lime or lemon soda like Sprite. There are many other alternatives like club soda, ginger Ale, or tonic water.
How can I replace the Prosecco? I like to replace it with a sparkling rosé for a subtle fruity taste but Any sparkling wine like Cava or Champagne would work for this recipe. If you want an alcohol free recipe, skip the Prosecco and use a lemon flavored soda.
What can I add to this drink? You can add a leaf of sage, lemon balm, lavender, rosemary, mint or basil. You can also add sliced cucumbers or berries. If you want your drink to have more fruity flavors than citrusy, add muddled strawberries or raspberries.
How can I store any leftovers? This is one of those drinks best consumed immediately since it contains sparkling water, I recommend storing for no more than a couple of hours. However, you can store each individual separately and mix only when needed.
