Prosecco And Cranberry Lime Cocktail Recipe

Prosecco and Cranberry Lime Cocktail Recipe
This drink brings together sparkling prosecco, cranberry juice, and a splash of lime for a crisp, balanced taste. I like to keep it simple—just a few tools, basic ingredients, and a step-by-step approach for mixing at home

Equipment

  • Champagne flute or wine glass: I go for a glass that gives the bubbles room to rise.
  • Jigger: Measuring helps me get the mix just right.
  • Bar spoon: Gentle stirring keeps the fizz from disappearing.
  • Citrus juicer or hand juicer: Fresh lime juice really does make a difference.
  • Small knife: For slicing lime wedges to garnish.
  • Ice cube tray: Sometimes I like a few cubes if I want it extra cold.
  • Pitcher (optional): If I'm making drinks for a group, a pitcher comes in handy.

Ingredients

  • Prosecco: 5 ounces chilled
  • Cranberry juice: 2 ounces unsweetened or light if I want it less sweet
  • Fresh lime juice: 0.5 ounce squeezed from one small lime
  • Simple syrup optional: 0.5 ounce, for a touch more sweetness if I’m in the mood
  • Lime wedge: For garnish
  • Fresh cranberries: For garnish if I have them
  • Ice cubes: As needed optional

Instructions

  • Fill the glass with ice if I want my drink extra cold.
  • Add cranberry juice and fresh lime juice to the glass.
  • If I’m feeling like a sweeter drink, in goes the simple syrup. One quick stir.
  • Gently pour prosecco over the juice mix—don’t want to lose those bubbles.
  • Slow stir with a bar spoon, just enough to blend things together.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge and a handful of cranberries on top if I have them.
  • Serve right away for max fizz and flavor.

Notes

Chilled prosecco is key. I always pour it last, after the juices, to keep the bubbles lively.
If I want it less sweet, I skip the syrup or use light cranberry juice. Sometimes I add extra lime for a bigger citrus punch.
For parties, I just multiply everything by the guest count and mix in a big pitcher right before serving.
I usually taste before serving and tweak the lime, syrup, or juice to fit what I’m feeling that day. Fresh fruit as garnish? Makes it look festive every time.
