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.

Sometimes I just don’t have everything on hand. I end up hunting for easy swaps that still taste great.
