Hi there! I've been a bartender at the same restaurant for over 10 years. My favorite spirits to work with are rum (love a good tiki drink!), gin and amaros. I love to garden and I often use the herbs and produce I grow to make syrups and infusions. Cheers y'all! ...

Combine all ingredients except Prosecco in a shaker with ice. Shake to chill, strain into a coupe glass. Top with Prosecco and garnish.

Editor's Note

A creative 'clean out the fridge' discovery. The classic pairing of strawberry and fennel gets a triple-down treatment with both a syrup and liqueur, lifted by a bright Prosecco float.
