Instructions

Notes
- Use a cold bottle of prosecco and chilled limoncello to keep the cocktail crisp and refreshing.

- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute prosecco with sparkling water and limoncello with lemon syrup.
- Ensure gentle stirring to preserve the prosecco’s bubbles.
- Blueberries, thyme, and lemon slices not only garnish but also add subtle herbal and citrus notes.
