Notes

Keep ingredients cold before mixing for the best results.
The drink stays fizzy longer when using chilled components.
Fresh-squeezed orange juice makes a big difference in taste compared to store-bought.
This recipe makes one serving. To make a pitcher, multiply ingredients by the number of servings needed.
Store leftover prosecco or champagne with a champagne stopper in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
