Equipment

  • Small sharp knife for peeling and slicing kiwis
  • Cutting Board
  • Citrus juicer for limes
  • Muddler or fork to mash fruit
  • Fine mesh strainer (optional, if you want a smoother texture)
  • Pitcher or large mixing glass
  • Stirring spoon
  • Measuring jigger or tablespoon
  • Champagne flutes or wine glasses for serving

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe kiwis peeled and sliced
  • 1 to 2 limes about 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 –2 tablespoons simple syrup or sugar to taste
  • 1 bottle 750 mL chilled prosecco
  • Lime slices or kiwi wheels for garnish
  • Fresh mint leaves optional, for garnish
  • Ice cubes optional

Instructions

  • Peel and slice the kiwis, then place them in a pitcher or large mixing glass.
  • Add fresh lime juice and your desired amount of simple syrup or sugar.
  • Use a muddler or fork to mash the kiwis with the lime juice and syrup until pulpy.
  • If a smoother drink is preferred, strain the kiwi-lime mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and pulp.
  • Pour the chilled prosecco slowly into the pitcher with the fruit mixture.
  • Stir gently to combine.
  • Add ice cubes if serving immediately.
  • Pour the cocktail into glasses and garnish with a lime slice, kiwi wheel, or mint leaves.
  • Serve right away—don’t let those bubbles fade!

Notes

I find that using very ripe kiwis makes the cocktail sweeter and easier to mash.
If I don’t have simple syrup, I mix a bit of sugar with the lime juice first to help it dissolve.
Straining the fruit mixture is optional; leaving it in gives more texture, which I personally like.
The lime amount can be adjusted depending on how tart I want the drink.
Chilling the prosecco beforehand is important for the best fizz.
This recipe should be served right after mixing to keep the bubbles sharp.

Must Have Ingredients

Tasting Notes

When I taste the Kiwi and Lime Prosecco Cocktail, I notice a bright, crisp flavor right away.

The kiwi brings a gentle sweetness, while the lime adds a sharp, citrus kick.

The bubbles from the Prosecco give the drink a light, fizzy texture.

This makes each sip feel refreshing and lively—almost like a little celebration in a glass.

Appearance:

  • Pale green color
  • Tiny bubbles rising to the top

Flavor Notes:

  • Sweetness: Mild from ripe kiwi
  • Tang: Zesty from fresh lime
  • Finish: Clean, with a hint of fruit

Sometimes I pick up a slightly floral scent from the Prosecco.

The combination of fruit and fizz makes this cocktail feel balanced and not too heavy.

If you like cocktails that aren’t overly sweet or strong, this is a good choice.

I find the flavors stand out most when the drink is well chilled—maybe that’s just me.

Substitute

Sometimes I just don’t have all the ingredients for my Kiwi and Lime Prosecco Cocktail. It happens, right?

There are easy ways to swap things out while still ending up with a great drink.

If I need to replace ingredients, I use these options:

  • Kiwi: I’ll grab green grapes or honeydew melon if I’m out of kiwi. Both give that similar sweetness and texture, more or less.
  • Lime: Lemon’s a solid backup if there’s no lime in the house. It still brings the tartness, maybe just a touch less zingy.
  • Prosecco: Any dry sparkling wine works—Cava or Champagne step in just fine.
  • Simple Syrup: Sometimes I go for agave syrup or even honey if I’m feeling like a change.

Equipment alternatives:

  • No muddler? I just use the back of a spoon to mash the fruit. Not fancy, but it gets the job done.
  • If there’s no cocktail shaker around, I stir everything up in a big glass with ice. Works in a pinch.

Instructions if I use substitutes:

  • Muddle whatever fruit I’m using, same as I would with kiwi.
  • Substitute juice goes in, just like lime—same amount.
  • Pour the sparkling wine in slowly. Seriously, it foams up fast.
  • I taste as I go, adding more syrup, honey, or agave if it’s not quite sweet enough. Sometimes I’m surprised by how much it needs.
