Prosecco Cocktails: 5 Bubbly Recipes You’ll Want to Make Again and Again
Looking for something refreshing, fizzy, and just a little fancy? A Prosecco cocktail is always a good idea. Light, festive, and super easy to mix, it’s the perfect base for all kinds of drinks — whether you're into fruity, floral, or slightly bitter flavors. Here are 5 must-try Prosecco cocktails, including a few all-time classics… and a little French twist at the end.
🍊 Aperol Spritz: The Italian Icon
Let’s start with the obvious: the Aperol Spritz. This orange-hued beauty is basically summer in a glass — it’s everywhere for a reason.
What you’ll need:
- 6 cl Prosecco
- 4 cl Aperol
- A splash of sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- 1 slice of orange
How to make it:
Fill a large wine glass with ice. Pour in the Aperol first, then add the Prosecco. Top off with a splash of sparkling water. Stir gently and pop in that orange slice. Done!
💡 Pro tip: Aperol first, always. It helps balance the drink better.
🍋 Limoncello Spritz: Citrus Heaven
Want something a little brighter and zesty? The Limoncello Spritz is like sunshine in a glass — a citrusy twist on the classic.
What you’ll need:
- 6 cl Prosecco
- 4 cl Limoncello
- A splash of sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices and fresh mint (optional)
How to make it:
Same vibe as the Aperol one — ice first, then Limoncello, Prosecco, and a splash of sparkling water. Garnish with mint and lemon if you want to get fancy.
🌿 Hugo: Light, Floral, Totally Addictive
The Hugo cocktail comes from northern Italy and it’s a fan favorite for a reason. It’s light, floral, a little sweet — and seriously refreshing.
What you’ll need:
- 6 cl Prosecco
- 2 cl elderflower syrup (or St-Germain liqueur)
- A splash of sparkling water
- Fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 slice of lime
- Ice cubes
How to make it:
Toss everything into a glass filled with ice, stir gently, and you’re good to go. It’s subtle, delicate, and dangerously easy to sip.
🍑 Bellini: Smooth, Peachy, Always Chic
Looking for something soft and fruity? The Bellini is your go-to. Born in Venice, just like the Spritz, it’s a brunch classic for good reason.
What you’ll need:
- 10 cl chilled Prosecco
- 5 cl white peach purée
How to make it:
Scoop the purée into a flute, then slowly pour in the Prosecco. Stir gently (or don’t — it’s great either way). Cheers!
💡 You can swap peach for strawberry to make a Rossini — same idea, different fruit vibe.
🍸 Negroni Sbagliato: Bittersweet with Bubbles
“Sbagliato” means “mistaken” in Italian — this version of the Negroni swaps gin for Prosecco, and it totally works.
What you’ll need:
- 3 cl Campari
- 3 cl sweet red vermouth
- 6 cl Prosecco
- Ice cubes
- Orange peel
How to make it:
Pour the Campari and vermouth into a short glass with ice, top with Prosecco, stir gently, and add a twist of orange. Bitter and bubbly in the best way.
🌾 Bonus: Spritz des Dunes, the French-style Spritz
Time to switch things up with a little French flair! The Spritz des Dunes is a botanical twist on the traditional Spritz — made with a bitter infused with immortelle, a yellow flower native to the French Atlantic dunes.
It’s less sweet than Aperol, with notes of bitter orange, blackcurrant, and elderflower. Light, herbal, and refreshingly unique — basically, a spritz à la française.
What you’ll need:
- 2 parts Spritz des Dunes bitter
- 2 parts Prosecco
- A splash of sparkling water
- Ice cubes
How to make it:
Pour everything into a large glass with ice, stir gently, and let the beachy vibes do their thing.
With these 6 sparkling cocktail ideas, you're all set to welcome the sunny season the right way — with sunshine, bubbles, and good times to share.
