Notes
This recipe can be easily scaled up for larger groups. For a pitcher, multiply the ingredients by the number of servings needed. Add the Prosecco just before serving to keep it bubbly.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace Prosecco with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. Adjust the simple syrup to taste.
Try adding a sprig of fresh mint or a few berries for extra flavor and color. Experiment with different citrus juices like lime or grapefruit for variety.
