It’s perfect for celebrations, brunch, or honestly, just a quiet evening at home.
You don’t need any fancy tools or hard-to-find ingredients here. I just follow a simple step-by-step process and let the tasting notes guide me before I take that first sip.
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
