You can use a shaker or alternatively mix this cocktail directly in the glass.
To prepare the pomegranate and lychee cordial at home cut 2 pomegranate and 1 punnet of lychee (about 200gr) and place them in a pan with 300 ml of water and 800 g of sugar. Cook it through for at least 20 minutes and let it rest for another 20. Now add a teaspoon of citric acid and strain with a muslin cloth or clean towel. Alternatively, a pomegranate and elderflower cordial from the shop works too.
Add the tequila, the Aperol, the Marsala and cordial to the glass. Add a few ice cubes and stir well. Now top up with the cold Prosecco DOC.
Garnish with a lychee or rose petals
