Prosecco Orange Berry Spritz

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle of Prosecco (chilled)

  • Raspberries (frozen)

  • Blackberries (optional, frozen)

  • Blueberries (optional, frozen)

  • Cointreau (Orange liqueur)

  • Orange slices or orange peel (for garnish)

  • Highball or fluted glasses

  • A stirring spoon

How to Prepare

  1. Start by chilling the bottle of Prosecco in the refrigerator until it reaches the ideal temperature of 34-36 degrees Fahrenheit (1-2 degrees Celsius).

  2. Prepare the Italian-style Chiller Ice by freezing a selection of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. These will serve as both a decorative element and a way to keep your drink cold without diluting it.

  3. Select the type of glass you want to use. Highball glasses work well for this celebratory cocktail, and fluted glasses can add elegance to the occasion.

  4. Begin by opening the chilled bottle of Prosecco. Make this a celebratory moment, as it sets the tone for the occasion.

  5. Pour the Prosecco into your selected glass, filling it about three-quarters full.

  6. To add a bright and fruity note to your cocktail, pour a splash (approximately half an ounce) of Cointreau into the Prosecco. Give it a gentle stir with a spoon to mix the ingredients.

  7. Drop a few frozen raspberries into the glass, letting them float in the cocktail.

  8. Optionally, garnish your cocktail with an orange slice or a twist of orange peel for a visually appealing touch and a hint of citrus aroma.

  9. Finally, raise your glass and toast to the occasion! Enjoy your Prosecco Raspberry Orange Cocktail with friends and family.
