Notes

The recipe makes 4 servings. Store leftover prosecco with a champagne stopper in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Tasting Notes

This elegant cocktail combines the sweet-tart flavor of pomegranate with crisp, bubbly Prosecco. The fresh pomegranate juice adds a bright ruby color and natural sweetness to the drink.

The first sip reveals a perfect balance between the fruit’s tang and the wine’s effervescence. Light bubbles dance on the tongue while carrying notes of ripe pomegranate throughout.

Key Flavor Notes:

Fresh pomegranate juice: Sweet-tart and fruity

Prosecco: Light, crisp, and bubbly
Combined: Refreshing with subtle fruit sweetness

The drink maintains its sparkle for 15-20 minutes after pouring. The pomegranate seeds at the bottom of the glass add a fun crunch and burst of fresh flavor.

A light fruit aroma rises from the glass, making this cocktail appealing to both the nose and palate. The drink finishes clean and dry, with no lingering sweetness.

Serve between 38-45°F (3-7°C) for the best flavor and maximum bubbles.

Substitute

No pomegranate juice? No problem. Replace it with cranberry juice for a similar sweet-tart taste. Any brand of prosecco works well in this drink.

Don’t want alcohol? Skip the prosecco and use sparkling water or club soda instead. Add a splash of lime juice to keep the drink interesting.

Can’t find fresh pomegranate seeds? Use dried ones from the grocery store. They work just as well for garnish.
