Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s create this magical sip step-by-step.

Step 1: Prepare Your Glass
Choose a coupe, flute, or stemless wine glass for presentation. Rub a lemon wedge along the rim, then dip into superfine sugar to create a frosted edge. This not only looks beautiful but also gives a sweet first taste.

Step 2: Frost the Inside
Fill the glass with crushed ice. This will give the drink its signature frosted, snow-globe-like effect.

Step 3: Mix the Base
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine elderflower liqueur, gin (or vodka), fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Shake well until chilled—about 15 seconds.

Step 4: Pour and Layer
Strain the mixture into your prepared glass over the crushed ice. Slowly top with chilled sparkling wine or champagne to create a natural fizz.

Step 5: Garnish Like a Fairy Would
Sprinkle a tiny pinch of edible glitter into the drink for a magical shimmer. Add an edible flower, a sprig of mint, or a lemon wheel for extra charm.

Step 6: Serve Immediately
The Frosted Fairy Fizz is best served right away to preserve its bubbles and enchanting frosted appearance.
