There are thousands of recipes how to use a bottle of this sweet Italian wine to make a mixed drink. A splash of Prosecco with some fine lemon juice and Grand Marnier is an easy way to relax after long and stressful day.
Prosecco cocktails can be also served as a sophisticated aperitif before dinner. So if you plan to hang up with your best friend and have “child free” conversation, here is easy Prosecco cocktails you can make at home.
Grand Prosecco
This is very simple recipe. Just mix lemon juice with Grand Marnier, add the Prosecco and watch how the bubbles form. Shaker free! When it comes to taste, you should know that Grand Marnier is mix of cognac and bitter orange liqueur so it brings bitter orange and brandy notes, but also notes of vanilla and oak. When it comes to lemon juice, it makes Grand Prosecco truly refreshing!
Aperol Spritz Prosecco cocktails
Aperol Spritz is a popular aperitif in Northern Italy, consisting primarily of two ingredients: Aperol and Prosecco. Aperol is a traditional Italian bitter liqueur that is often referred to as the less alcoholic little brother of Campari. It is made from an infusion of herbs and roots such as orange and rhubarb. Combine 3 parts of Prosecco and 2 parts of Aperol. Then served over ice with a dash of soda and an orange slice for garnish. The Aperol Spritz recipe is simple to master so don’t worry!
Bellini
Can you imagine Prosecco and peach pure in a glass? Well, that is Bellini. Very refreshing, very tasty, very summer! So how to make it? Fill your glass with around 1/3rd peach purée then top up the rest with Prosecco and there you have it. If you want to use homemade purée, peel a couple of peaches, cut them into wedges, and place them in a food processor with a couple of teaspoons of sugar. You can use white or yellow peaches.
Pornstar Martini
Pornstar Martini is one of the most popular cocktails in the UK. The Pornstar martini is a sweet and zingy vodka-based cocktail made with vanilla and passionfruit. Although it is almost always included in lists of Prosecco cocktails, the Prosecco is served alongside the cocktail rather than inside it. Still, this is a cocktail recipe that is easy to make Mix together vanilla vodka, passion fruit liquor, vanilla syrup, passionfruit puree, freshly squeezed lime and passion fruit slice. Serve in a martini glass with shot glass of Prosecco on the side.
The Hugo
A refreshing spritz-style low alcohol cocktail consisting of Prosecco, soda water, elderflower syrup and mint leaves. The Hugo is a summery aperitif from the South Tyrolean region of Alto Adige in Northern Italy, but it is also popular in neighboring Austria and Switzerland. In a tall glass, combine the mint leaves, lime wedge, and plenty of ice. Combine the elderflower syrup and soda water, then top with a plentiful serving of Prosecco. If you want to make this cocktail a little more alcoholic, replace the elderflower syrup with elderflower liqueur.
Sgroppino
The Sgroppino is a vodka and Prosecco cocktail with lemon sorbet that creates a sweet and refreshing cocktail. Sgroppino is ideal for a hot summer day or as an alcoholic dessert substitute at a dinner party. Mix vodka, lemon sorbet and Prosecco and that’s it. Your Sgroppino is ready! Advice: Make sure all three ingredients are cold before combining them in a blender. Glass should be cold, too.
Prosecco Margaritas
It’s unusual to combine the cultures of Italy and Mexico, but it works when Prosecco is added to the traditional margarita. Believe it or not, it’s a perfect match! To begin, rim the glass with salt by rubbing a piece of lime around the edge of the glass and then dipping it in the salt to cover the entire circumference. Then, in a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and syrup. Add Prosecco on top. Prosecco Margaritas are a simple cocktail to make, especially in large quantities. As a result, they are one of the best Prosecco cocktails for a large group, such as a summer mommy party or other special event. To keep the sparkle alive, add the Prosecco to each glass as you serve it.
