When summer rolls in, I’m all about keeping things light, bubbly, and easy—and nothing does that better than prosecco. Whether I’m hosting friends, having brunch outdoors, or just unwinding after a long day, prosecco cocktails always feel festive and refreshing.
What I love most is how versatile prosecco is—it pairs beautifully with fresh fruits, liqueurs, and herbs. In this list, I’m sharing my favorite prosecco-based drinks that are perfect for summer.
These recipes are simple to make but pack a flavorful punch. Each one comes with a personal tip to help you enjoy it at its best. Let’s get into these delicious bubbly drinks that will keep your summer feeling fresh and fizzy!
1. Classic Bellini
Type: Prosecco | Prep Time: 3 mins
This timeless cocktail combines chilled prosecco with peach purée for a fruity, bubbly drink that’s perfect for brunch or lazy weekends. I make this one often when peaches are in season—it’s elegant, light, and always a hit.
Special Recipe Tip: Use frozen peach slices blended with a bit of sugar for a colder, slush-style Bellini.
2. Aperol Spritz
Type: Prosecco | Prep Time: 4 mins
Aperol Spritz is a summer favorite in my house. Prosecco, Aperol, and soda water over ice with an orange slice—it’s bitter, slightly sweet, and incredibly refreshing. Ideal for sipping outdoors as the sun sets.
Special Recipe Tip: Add a splash of fresh orange juice to mellow the bitterness and add more citrus flavor.
3. Raspberry Limoncello Spritz
Type: Prosecco | Prep Time: 5 mins
This zesty drink mixes limoncello, fresh raspberries, and prosecco into a tart, sparkling cocktail. It’s bright and bursting with lemon flavor, perfect for cooling down in the heat. I love serving it with brunch or grilled seafood.
Special Recipe Tip: Lightly mash a few raspberries in the glass before adding the liquid for more intense berry flavor.
4. Prosecco Mojito
Type: Prosecco | Prep Time: 5 mins
I gave the classic mojito a bubbly twist by swapping soda water for prosecco. Fresh mint, lime juice, and sugar come together with the fizz of prosecco for a refreshing cocktail that’s perfect for garden parties.
Special Recipe Tip: Let the mint and lime sit in the glass for a minute before topping with prosecco so the flavors can steep.
5. Strawberry Prosecco Slush
Type: Prosecco | Prep Time: 7 mins
This frozen drink blends strawberries, ice, and prosecco into a cold, fruity slush that’s great for beating the heat. It’s easy, quick, and feels like a grown-up snow cone—my go-to when it’s too hot to think.
Special Recipe Tip: Add a splash of elderflower liqueur for a soft floral twist that balances the sweetness.
6. French 77
Type: Prosecco | Prep Time: 5 mins
The French 77 is a floral and citrusy take on the classic French 75. It combines elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, and prosecco. I like to serve this one when I want something light and a little fancy.
Special Recipe Tip: Garnish with a lemon peel twist or lavender sprig to match the drink’s floral character.
7. Grapefruit Prosecco Cocktail
Type: Prosecco | Prep Time: 4 mins
This cocktail pairs grapefruit juice with prosecco and a touch of honey syrup. It’s crisp, tart, and a little sweet—perfect for those who enjoy citrus-forward drinks like I do. I find it works great with brunch or fresh salads.
Special Recipe Tip: Chill the grapefruit juice beforehand so your drink stays colder longer without ice.
8. Prosecco Sangria
Type: Prosecco | Prep Time: 10 mins
A twist on classic sangria using prosecco instead of red wine. I mix citrus slices, strawberries, peaches, and a splash of orange liqueur with chilled prosecco for a fruity, shareable drink. Perfect for serving a crowd!
Special Recipe Tip: Let the fruit soak in the orange liqueur for 15 minutes before adding prosecco to deepen the flavor.
9. Pineapple Prosecco Punch
Type: Prosecco | Prep Time: 5 mins
This tropical drink is made with pineapple juice, a little coconut water, and prosecco. It’s sweet, light, and super easy to throw together. I serve it in a big pitcher for backyard BBQs and poolside hangouts.
Special Recipe Tip: Garnish with fresh pineapple chunks and a sprig of mint for a tropical touch.
10. Blueberry Lavender Fizz
Type: Prosecco | Prep Time: 6 mins
This elegant drink combines blueberry syrup, a splash of lemon, and prosecco for a floral-fruity cocktail that feels delicate and fun. I usually save this one for evening events or more intimate summer dinners.
Special Recipe Tip: Make a quick lavender simple syrup by steeping dried lavender in sugar water for a few minutes—it makes all the difference.
