Prosecco With Cranberry And Lime Cocktail Recipe
This drink is bright, refreshing, and ridiculously easy to make at home. I stick to simple ingredients and tools for a sparkling cocktail that’s got just the right amount of tartness.
Equipment
- Champagne or wine flute
- Measuring jigger or small measuring cup
- Long spoon or cocktail stirrer
- Citrus Juicer: For fresh lime juice.
- Small bowl (for garnishes, if desired)
- Ice (optional, for chilling)
Ingredients
- 4 oz chilled prosecco
- 1 oz cranberry juice unsweetened or sweetened, up to you
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp simple syrup optional, if you like it sweeter
- Fresh cranberries for garnish
- Lime wheel or wedge for garnish
- Ice cubes optional, for serving
Instructions
- Chill the prosecco, cranberry juice, and glass before starting.
- Pour the cranberry juice and lime juice into the flute.
- Add simple syrup if I want a sweeter taste.
- Gently top with prosecco, pouring slowly to avoid overflow.
- Stir slowly with a long spoon to combine, taking care not to lose the bubbles.
- Drop a few cranberries into the glass and add a lime wheel or wedge to garnish.
- Serve immediately, with or without ice.
Notes
If I’m using sweetened cranberry juice, I usually skip the simple syrup. No one wants a sugar bomb. The fresh cranberries are mainly for looks, so don’t stress if you’re out.
This cocktail is a good match with light snacks or appetizers. If I’m making drinks for a group, I just scale the ingredients up but keep the same ratios for each glass.
