Let’s talk about the ingredients you need for this easy prosecco cocktail!

Prosecco – an Italian sparkling wine that is sweeter than its Cava cousin.

Elderflower Liqueur – floral and sweet. If you want a less-sweet cocktail, use half the amount

Fig Preserves

Honey Simple Syrup – using a simple syrup is helpful because raw honey will clump and freeze up when exposed to cold things, like the ice. This way we get the flavor and sweetness without the worry!

Making the Cocktail

This cocktail is made in a shaker with ice. This helps to combine the ingredients as well as chill them.

It can also be made in the glass itself, stirring with ice, if preferred.

FAQs

Is Prosecco just cheap champagne?

Prosecco is a sparkling wine, specifically from Italy (just like champagne is specifically from an area of France). It is sweeter than many other sparkling wines. It also is very budget friendly!

Is Prosecco sweet or dry?

Prosecco can be both sweet or dry, depending on the brand and varietal that you get. Overall it tends to be on the sweeter side.
