The Spring Fever is a spring cocktail that was created by Jamie Steinberg at Motel Morris in New York City, New York. Inspired by the flavors sprouting up in gardens early in the season, the recipe spruces up sparkling pink wine with elderflower, lemon, strawberry, and rhubarb to make a tart and refreshing drink great for sipping in the sun on the patio.
Stem and quarter strawberries, then add to a shaker.
Using a muddler, gently muddle strawberries for 5-7 seconds.
Add elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, and rhubarb bitters to shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Add fresh cracked ice to a goblet or wine glass.
Using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer, strain into goblet or wine glass.
Top with sparkling rosé.
Garnish with lemon slice.
