Ingredients List
- 1 bottle of prosecco, chilled
- 1 cup of fresh fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries, or sliced peaches
- 1/4 cup of liqueur, like peach schnapps or elderflower liqueur, for a lovely touch of sweetness
- 1 cup of soda water or tonic water, depending on your preference for fizz
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish, because who doesn’t love a pop of green?
How to Prepare Prosecco Cocktails Easy
- First things first—make sure your prosecco is chilled! You’ll want it nice and cold, so pop it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before you start.
- Once your prosecco is perfectly chilled, grab a large pitcher and toss in your fresh fruit. I love using a mix of strawberries and peaches, but feel free to get creative!
- Now, pour in your chosen liqueur. If you’re using peach schnapps, it adds a lovely sweetness that pairs beautifully with the fruit.
- Next, gently pour in the chilled prosecco. Be careful here—don’t rush this step or you might end up with a bubbly explosion! Just pour slowly and watch those delightful bubbles form.
- To add a refreshing fizz, splash in your soda water or tonic water. Give everything a gentle stir, but don’t overdo it; we want to keep those bubbles intact!
- Lastly, serve the cocktails in glasses and garnish each with a sprig of fresh mint. This little touch not only looks fancy but adds a lovely aroma as you sip!

Storage & Reheating Instructions
Honestly, these prosecco cocktails are best enjoyed fresh, right after mixing for that perfect bubbly experience! However, if you happen to have leftovers, you can store any unused fruit or liqueur in the refrigerator for up to two days. Just keep them in a covered container to maintain their freshness. As for any mixed cocktails, I’d recommend consuming them the same day for the best fizz. If you need to, you can add a splash of fresh prosecco or soda water to revive the bubbles right before serving!

While it’s best to mix them fresh for maximum fizz, you can prep the fruit and liqueur ahead of time. Just keep them in the refrigerator, and add the prosecco and soda water when you’re ready to serve to keep those bubbles alive!
