You can muddle a sprig of thyme in with the cucumber for a little extra flavor.

The amount of prosecco may vary depending on the size of the glass you use.

For this Cointreau Spritz, you can use any type of sparkling wine. While I like to use Prosecco, you can also use champagne or cava or something made in the method of.
