Serving Size

Equipment

Cocktail shaker: For mixing the ingredients.
Muddler to press the mint leaves and release their flavor
Jigger or measuring cup for accurate liquid amounts

Bar spoon or long stirrer for gentle mixing
Fine mesh strainer if I want a smoother drink
Highball or stemless wine glasses for serving

Small knife for cutting apple slices or mint
Cutting board to prepare garnishes
Ice maker or ice cube tray to chill the drink

Ingredients

2 oz green apple juice cold
3 oz prosecco well-chilled
1/2 oz simple syrup or to taste
6-8 fresh mint leaves
1 oz vodka optional, for extra kick
Ice cubes
Green apple slices for garnish
Extra mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

Add mint leaves and simple syrup to the cocktail shaker.

Gently muddle the mint to release flavor, but don’t shred the leaves.
Pour in the green apple juice and vodka (if using).
Add ice cubes to fill the shaker halfway.

Shake well for about 10 seconds until chilled.
Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice.
Top with prosecco and stir gently with a bar spoon.

Garnish with a few apple slices and a mint sprig.

Notes

I sometimes use fresh green apple juice, which gives the best taste and color. Store-bought juice should be clear and tart, not too sweet.

If my simple syrup is too strong, I add it slowly and taste as I go. When muddling mint, I use light pressure so the cocktail doesn’t become bitter.

Using very cold prosecco keeps the drink lively. If I’m making several drinks, I chill the glasses and the ingredients ahead of time.

For a sweeter cocktail, I add more simple syrup in small steps. If I want less alcohol, I skip the vodka completely.

This recipe can be doubled for parties. It’s flexible, so tweak as you like.

Tasting Notes

When I take a sip of the Minty Green Apple Prosecco Cocktail, the first thing I notice is its crispness. The green apple brings a tart, fresh flavor that wakes up my taste buds.

I can taste gentle bubbles from the Prosecco, making the drink light and fizzy. The mint adds a cooling sensation that balances the tanginess of the apple.

Flavor Highlights:

Green apple: tangy and fresh
Prosecco: light and bubbly
Mint: cooling and refreshing

With each sip, I find a gentle sweetness that isn’t overpowering. The mint sits in the background, making the drink feel extra refreshing.

The color is a pale green, and the mint leaves look bright and inviting. I get a crisp, clean smell from the green apple and fresh mint each time I bring the glass to my lips.

Substitute

If I’m missing a few things for a Minty Green Apple Prosecco Cocktail, I just swap in what I’ve got. No need to stress about it—there are easy fixes.

Possible Ingredient Substitutes:

Prosecco: Sometimes I grab sparkling wine, champagne, or even club soda if I want to skip the booze.

Green Apple Liqueur: Apple juice, apple syrup, or honestly, any fruity liqueur hanging around works in a pinch.
Fresh Mint: No mint? Basil steps in pretty well, or I’ll use a splash of mint syrup if I’m desperate.
Lime Juice: Lemon juice is basically a lateral move here.

Equipment

Ingredients

3 oz sparkling wine or club soda
1 oz apple juice or syrup
Fresh basil (if no mint)

1/2 oz lemon juice

Instructions

Dump everything into a shaker with a handful of ice.
Give it a good shake, then strain it into your glass.
If you’re feeling fancy, throw a fresh herb on top.
