I love making drinks that are simple but still feel special. This Kiwi Strawberry Prosecco Cocktail recipe is easy to prepare and combines fresh fruit flavors with a light, bubbly finish.
It works well for gatherings, or even just an evening at home. I’ll show you how I make this refreshing cocktail in just a few steps.
The flavor mix of kiwi and strawberry fits perfectly with prosecco. You don’t need advanced bartending skills, which is a relief—no one wants to fuss around too much when it’s hot out.
You’ll find a clear list of equipment, ingredients, and instructions up next. That way you can quickly make and enjoy this drink yourself.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker: I use this to mix the fruit with the liquids evenly.
- Muddler: This helps me crush the kiwi and strawberries to release their flavors.
- Strainer: I strain the drink to remove seeds and pulp for a smooth finish.
- Measuring jigger: Precise measurements make a balanced cocktail.
- Glassware: I prefer using champagne flutes or stemless wine glasses.
- Cutting board and paring knife: These are necessary for slicing fruit.
- Bar spoon: I use this for gently stirring in the prosecco to preserve its bubbles.

Tasting Notes
The first sip of my Kiwi Strawberry Prosecco Cocktail hits with instant freshness. It’s light and crisp—those Prosecco bubbles do all the heavy lifting for texture.
The kiwi gives a soft, tangy flavor. It’s not too pushy, just a green little nudge in the background.
The strawberry brings a gentle sweetness. Both fruits give the drink a bright color and a little perfume when I hold the glass close (which I do, often).
The bubbles in the Prosecco make this drink feel extra lively. The finish is clean, no sticky aftertaste hanging around.
Aromas:
- Fresh berries
- Crisp wine
- Cut kiwi
I like that every ingredient is easy to taste. The balance is simple and refreshing—makes this cocktail a breeze to sip, honestly.
Substitute
Sometimes, I just don’t have every ingredient for a Kiwi Strawberry Prosecco Cocktail. That’s when I get creative and try to keep the drink tasting fresh and fun anyway.
Ingredients
- If Prosecco’s missing, I’ll grab sparkling wine or Cava. Sometimes, I go with non-alcoholic sparkling juice for a mocktail—why not?
- No kiwi? Green grapes or honeydew usually step in, especially when kiwis are impossible to find.
- Strawberries run out fast in my house. I use raspberries or even watermelon for that pop of color and sweetness.
Instructions
- I blend whatever fruit’s on hand until it’s smooth enough.
- Then, I strain the juice before mixing—same as the main recipe, really.
- Sparkling wine or a non-alcoholic drink goes over the fruit juice. I mix it gently and hope for the best.
Equipment
- Blender or food processor to blitz the fruit.
- Fine mesh strainer for catching seeds and pulp.
- Pitcher or mixing glass—makes pouring way easier.
Other fruit and sparkling drink combos honestly work, too. Sometimes I tweak the sweetness with a drizzle of simple syrup or honey, just depending on the fruit.
