Instructions

Shake. Add the gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, the large sprig of fresh mint, and ice to a cocktail shaker glass. Make sure the lid is secured, shake vigorously for 15 seconds, and then strain the liquid into a coupe glass.
Serve. Pour the Prosecco into the glass, garnish with fresh mint, and serve.

Notes

Fresh Lemon Juice: For the best flavor, make sure to use fresh citrus juice here. Lemon or lime are good choices, or for a sweeter version, fresh orange juice works well.
Floral Variation: If you like floral cocktails, try this with a splash of elderflower syrup or liqueur added.
How to Make Simple Syrup: You can buy simple syrup or easily make it yourself. To do so, combine equal parts sugar and water is a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a boil, stir to dissolve the sugar, remove from the heat, and then cool to room temperature.
