The Best Top 10 Prosecco Cocktail Recipes To Try Out!

There is a variety of prosecco cocktails recipes that you can try out. Here at LDV, we have organised the top 10 of the best for you to try out. These easy-to-do recipes will surely get the party started this National Prosecco Day! Let’s get started:

The Classic Bellini

This drink is made with prosecco, lemon juice and white peach purée. This classic cocktail is best enjoyed when the prosecco has been chilled in the fridge. You can buy the white peach purée online as white peaches can be a hassle to find. Nonetheless, yellow peaches are a good substitute and they can also be used to make the classic bellini.

Ingredients

• 50ml white peach purée
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 100-120ml prosecco

Method

1. Pour the peach purée and lemon juice into a chilled champagne flute glass.
2. Slowly top up with the prosecco, gently stir and serve.

Our LDV tip: “ To get that 2-colour separation for your cocktail, when pouring the prosecco, use a tablespoon and put in the glass facing down. Pour the prosecco over the back of the spoon slowly and gently. This makes the wine not concentrate the purée to give it that two-tone ombre colour.’’ - Cocktail lover, Nontozakhe Raphadu.

Aperol Spiritz

This is a classicItalian aperitif. Whip it up in minutes and get your guests talking! This drink is slightly bitter and vibrantly hued, it has been a staple aperitif in Italy from way back when.

Brunch Or Late Lunch Ideas To Pair With Easy Prosecco Cocktails

Peach Scones

No one can resist homemade scones, and breakfast pastries topped with fresh peaches are always excellent. Your day will be full of peach-like emotions as you bite into these soft and delicious doughnuts.

Ingredients

• 3 cups + 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting, divided
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 stick unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
• 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, plus more for brushing
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 3/4 cup canned peaches, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons raw sugar
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Method

1. Whisk 3 cups of all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Using your hands or a dough cutter, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the butter is almost completely incorporated into the flour mixture. (Note: The texture of the flour should be like cornmeal with some peanuts sprinkled all over it.)
2. In a small bowl, mix the cream, egg and almond extract. Using a large spoon, mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until the dough is dry and fluffy. In another bowl, add another 2 tablespoons of peach chunks. Flour until well coated. Add to the dough and gently fold the dough until the peaches are evenly distributed. Shape the dough into a large ball and flour it.
3. Flour the dough generously and shape it into a 9-inch wide and 1-inch thick round. If it's too sticky to work with, continue sprinkling with flour until it doesn't stick to your hands. Divide the circle into four, then divide each quarter in half to form 8 equal triangles.
4. Arrange the doughnuts 2 inches apart on a piece of parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Brush the scones with extra sugar and sprinkle evenly with the raw sugar. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 32 to 35 minutes, until golden brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
