G Fizz and Prosecco Cocktail
The G Fizz and Prosecco cocktail is an aesthetic beverage which features pale, slightly frosted and effervescent elements; it presents an elegant serving that showcases sophistication. Unlike drinks that build complexity through layers of syrups or garnishes, the concoction focuses on contrast — still versus sparkling, botanical versus citrus and dry versus aromatic. Presentation plays an important role in shaping the overall taste, making it well-suited for modern menus where lighter, well-defined drinks are preferred with balanced execution.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Before mixing, briefly rinse the glass with 2-3 tablespoons of gin and discard it to create a light, botanical layer inside the glass, enhancing the aroma without altering balance.
Serving Tip 1
Freeze thin lemon wheels or edible flowers into ice cubes a few hours before serving; this not only adds a subtle citrus aroma as the ice melts but also creates a layer that complements the drink’s sparkling presentation.
