Mix the milk, apricot nectar, and brandy up to 2 hours ahead. Add sparkling wine and ice just before serving to preserve carbonation.
Prosecco, Cava, or any dry sparkling wine balances the sweetness. Avoid overly sweet varieties.
Use apricot liqueur, peach schnapps, or amaretto for similar flavor. Adjust the amount if using a sweeter substitute.
Replace the brandy and sparkling wine with sparkling apple cider or ginger ale for a non-alcoholic version.
Chill your glass and ingredients beforehand, use larger ice cubes, or serve immediately after mixing.
