Prosecco With Raspberry Garnish Cocktail Recipe

What I love most is how bright and fresh this drink looks, even though it’s so easy to make. The combo of chilled prosecco, a splash of citrus, and sweet raspberries keeps it light but definitely not boring.

Equipment

I like to keep things simple—less mess, less cleanup. The right glass actually makes a difference since it keeps those bubbles going longer.

• Champagne flute for serving
• Cocktail shaker for mixing syrup, lemon juice, or limoncello
• Bar spoon for gentle stirring
• Small strainer to catch seeds or pulp if you want
• Measuring jigger for accurate pours
• Ice cubes to chill everything before adding prosecco

Ingredients

I stick with just a few ingredients to keep things easy but tasty. Fresh fruit always makes the drink look better and adds real flavor.

• 4 oz chilled prosecco
• 1 oz raspberry syrup (store-bought or homemade)
• ½ oz fresh lemon juice
• ½ oz limoncello (optional if you want more citrus)
• Fresh raspberries for garnish
• 1 tsp sugar (optional, if you like it sweeter)
• Ice cubes for shaking and chilling

Instructions

I like to keep the drink crisp, so I always pour the prosecco last to keep those bubbles alive.

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
• Add raspberry syrup, lemon juice, and limoncello.
• Shake gently for about 10 seconds.
• Strain into a champagne flute.
• Top slowly with chilled prosecco.
• Stir lightly with a bar spoon.
• Drop in 1–2 fresh raspberries for garnish.

Notes

I’ve found the cocktail tastes best when the prosecco is super cold, so I chill the bottle for a few hours before making it. Champagne flutes really do help the bubbles stick around longer than a wide glass.

If I want it sweeter, I’ll mix in a little sugar with the syrup before shaking. For a lighter version, sometimes I skip the limoncello and just use lemon juice.

Fresh raspberries look great and taste even better, but honestly, frozen ones work fine if that’s all I’ve got. I always serve this cocktail right away so it keeps that lively fizz.

Tasting Notes

Right from the first sip, I get this crisp, light feeling. The bubbles in the sparkling wine shoot up fast and give a refreshing kick.

Raspberry brings just enough tartness to keep the sweetness in check. The flavor definitely leans fruity, but it never feels too heavy.

I pick up these soft berry notes, and then the Prosecco leaves a clean, dry finish. The raspberry garnish sits there and adds a little extra freshness as it soaks in the glass.

There’s something about that cool fizz mixing with the berry flavor that I really enjoy. The drink stays bright and super easy to sip—simple, but still kind of elegant.

Key impressions I get while tasting:

• Texture: light, bubbly, smooth
• Flavor: mild sweetness, fresh raspberry, crisp finish
• Aroma: soft fruit scent with a touch of floral notes
