Kiwi And Lime Prosecco Cocktail Recipe
This cocktail brings together fresh kiwi, tart lime, and sparkling prosecco.
It’s simple to make and is a refreshing drink for warmer days—couldn’t be easier, really.
Equipment

- Cutting Board
- Citrus juicer for limes

Notes
I find that using very ripe kiwis makes the cocktail sweeter and easier to mash.
If I don't have simple syrup, I mix a bit of sugar with the lime juice first to help it dissolve.
Straining the fruit mixture is optional; leaving it in gives more texture, which I personally like.
The lime amount can be adjusted depending on how tart I want the drink.
Chilling the prosecco beforehand is important for the best fizz.
This recipe should be served right after mixing to keep the bubbles sharp.
