Prep Time 5 minutes minutes

Total Time 5 minutes minutes

Serving Size 1

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker: To mix the ginger syrup and lime juice well before adding Prosecco
• Strainer: Helps remove pulp and ice while pouring
• Jigger or measuring spoons: For precise measurement of syrup and juice
• Citrus juicer: To get the most juice from fresh limes
• Bar spoon: Useful for gentle stirring
• Chilled flute or wine glass: Keeps the drink cold
• Knife and cutting board: For slicing limes
• Ice: Needed both for shaking and serving

Ingredients

• 3 oz Prosecco chilled
• 1 oz ginger syrup store-bought or homemade
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• Ice cubes
• Lime wheel or twist for garnish
• Fresh mint optional for garnish
• Extra ginger slices optional for garnish

Instructions

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
• Add ginger syrup and fresh lime juice to the shaker.
• Shake well for about 10 seconds to chill and mix.
• Strain the mixture into a chilled glass.
• Top with cold Prosecco.
• Gently stir with a bar spoon to combine, being careful not to lose the bubbles.
• Garnish with a lime wheel, twist, or ginger slice.
• Add a sprig of mint if desired for aroma.

Notes

I serve this cocktail right after making it so the bubbles are lively.

For a spicy twist, I’ll sometimes add a thin slice of fresh ginger to the shaker. If guests want a sweeter drink, I just let them add half an ounce more ginger syrup. Easy enough.

This drink pairs well with light appetizers like shrimp or crackers.

I avoid using sweet Prosecco because it overpowers the ginger and lime. For a non-alcoholic version, I swap Prosecco with sparkling water.

If I’m making these for a crowd, I’ll mix the syrup and juice ahead in a pitcher, then pour and top with Prosecco right before serving. Otherwise, it loses its oomph.

Tasting Notes

When I sip the Ginger and Lime Prosecco Cocktail, the first thing I notice is the lively fizz from the Prosecco.

The bubbles feel crisp and light on my tongue. It’s honestly kind of fun.

The flavor starts with a gentle sweetness from the ginger syrup.

It isn’t too strong or overpowering, but I can clearly taste the subtle warmth of ginger.

A sharp, bright lime flavor follows next.

The lime juice adds a slight tartness and keeps the drink tasting refreshing. I like how the citrus cuts through the sweetness.

If I smell the drink before tasting, I get a fresh aroma from the lime.

There’s a hint of spicy ginger in the background. It’s subtle, but it’s there.

Sometimes, I’ll add a thin slice of lime or a small piece of candied ginger as garnish.

This gives the drink a little extra aroma and flavor. Plus, it just looks nice.
