There are just some days when I want a drink that’s both refreshing and a little bit special, but I don’t want to fuss with anything complicated. A Tropical Prosecco Punch Cocktail hits that sweet spot—it brings a splash of summer to any hangout or lazy afternoon.
This recipe mixes bubbly prosecco with tropical fruit juices for a light, flavorful cocktail.
I’m always on the lookout for ways to wow guests without spending forever in the kitchen. This punch is one of those things that’s simple to throw together, but it looks (and tastes) festive.
It’s a crowd-pleaser you can whip up in minutes, and honestly, it works any time of year.
Equipment
- Large pitcher or punch bowl: I use a pitcher that holds at least 2 quarts (2 liters) so there’s room to stir.
- Long spoon or ladle: A long spoon helps me mix everything evenly. A ladle works best for serving punch into glasses without splashing everywhere.
- Measuring cup: I measure the fruit juice and soda so the flavors aren’t too strong or too weak.
- Citrus juicer (optional): Handy if I want to use fresh-squeezed orange, lime, or pineapple juice.
- Small knife and cutting board: I slice up fresh fruit easily with these.
- Ice bucket or tray: Ice keeps the punch cold if it’s sitting out for a while.
- Glasses: I like using stemmed wine glasses or tumblers, but honestly, any glass will do.
- Strainer (optional): If I go heavy on the fruit, a strainer keeps pulp and seeds out of each glass.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle 750 ml chilled prosecco
- 1 cup pineapple juice fresh or bottled
- 1/2 cup orange juice fresh is best, in my opinion
- 1/4 cup lime juice about 2 limes
- 1/4 cup triple sec or orange liqueur optional, but adds extra flavor
- 1 can 12 oz lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7-Up, either one works)
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
- 1 orange thinly sliced, seeds removed
- 1 lime thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries optional, but they add color
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Drop all the sliced fruit and maraschino cherries into a big pitcher or punch bowl.
- Pour in the pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, and triple sec.
- Stir it all together with a long spoon so the juices and fruit mix well.
- Right before serving, slowly pour in the chilled prosecco and lemon-lime soda.
- Give it a gentle stir—just enough to combine, but not so much that you lose the bubbles.
- Add a good amount of ice cubes to keep everything nice and cold.
- Use a ladle to serve the punch into glasses, making sure to scoop up some fruit for each one.

Tasting Notes
The first thing I notice with this punch is the lively fizz. Those prosecco bubbles make every sip feel light and extra refreshing.
The taste is a mix of sweet and tangy. Pineapple juice really stands out for me, and then there’s a gentle citrus kick from the orange liqueur. The fruitiness just screams summer.
The aroma is really fruity and bright. I get a big whiff of fresh pineapple, plus a little zesty lime.
On the tongue, the punch is smooth, almost creamy from the juice blend. There’s enough tartness to keep it from being cloying. I also catch those delicate wine notes from the prosecco.
Honestly, I always serve this punch super cold with lots of ice. The chill keeps the flavors snappy.
If you’re into fruity drinks with a bit of sparkle, you’ll probably love this cocktail as much as I do. Give it a try—why not?
Substitute
When I don’t have Prosecco on hand, I just grab another sparkling wine. Cava or Champagne usually do the trick and keep the punch nice and bubbly.
For a non-alcoholic twist, I swap the Prosecco for club soda or sparkling grape juice. That way, the drink stays fizzy but doesn’t have any booze in it.
Sometimes, I get curious and play around with different fruit juices. If I’m out of pineapple juice, I’ll use orange juice, mango juice, or even passion fruit juice instead.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Large spoon
- Measuring cups
Ingredients
- Cava, Champagne, club soda, or sparkling grape juice (instead of Prosecco)
- Orange juice, mango juice, or passion fruit juice (instead of pineapple juice)
Instructions
- Pour your chosen sparkling drink into a bowl.
- Add whichever fruit juice you’re using.
- Stir it all together gently with a spoon.
