Ingredients

½ large cucumber
Ice cubes to serve
180ml elderflower cordial
750ml bottle prosecco
300ml tonic water or sparkling water
Small handful fresh mint leaves
2 limes, cut into wedges

Method

Slice the cucumber lengthways, then use a teaspoon to scrape out and discard the seeds. Peel the cucumber into long, thin ribbons using a Y-shaped peeler (or slice thinly with a sharp knife).
Fill 8 tall glasses with ice, divide the elderflower cordial, prosecco and tonic water equally among the glasses, then add the cucumber ribbons/slices and mint leaves.
Squeeze over the lime wedges, then drop into the glasses. Swirl to mix. Serve with spiced nuts or crisps.
