Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon (from two 1/4-ounce envelopes) unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons cold water
3/4 cup Prosecco (Italian sparkling wine)
3/4 cup limoncello (Italian lemon liqueur)
1/2 cup sparkling water
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 thin lemon slices, for garnish
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl. Let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
