Recipe
Prosecco and lemonade cocktail recipe
Ingredients
Makes 1 flute
No blackberry lemonade on hand? Plain sparkling lemonade with one blackberry crushed in the bottom of the flute does the job.
Method
- Chill everything Put the flute in the freezer for 10 minutes. The prosecco and the blackberry sparkling lemonade come straight from the fridge.
- Pour the prosecco Tilt the flute to 45 degrees and pour 75 ml brut prosecco slowly down the side. Let the foam settle.
- Add the lemonade Still tilting, pour in 75 ml blackberry sparkling lemonade the same way. Don't stir.
- Garnish Twist the lemon peel over the flute to release its oils, then drop it in. Spear the blackberry on a pick laid across the rim.
- Serve right away Bubbles don't wait: clink glasses as soon as it's poured.
Pour the prosecco first. It foams more than the lemonade, so once its head settles the lemonade goes in with almost no overflow.

When to serve a prosecco lemonade cocktail
The New Year's toast and holiday brunch glass. Prosecco brings the crispness of wine, blackberry adds dark fruit and a ruby colour. Two ingredients, no syrup, and each flute is lighter than a full glass of bubbly.
Tips for a prosecco cocktail that stays fizzy
- Keep everything ice cold: carbonation holds far better at fridge temperature. No ice, no spoon.
- Prep what doesn't fizz ahead: flutes in the freezer, blackberries on picks, lemon peels cut. Combine at the last minute.
- Pick a brut prosecco. Extra dry is sweeter and can make the flute too sweet.
Prosecco and lemonade variations
Alcohol-free version
Swap the prosecco for 75 ml dealcoholized sparkling wine, or pour 75 ml blackberry sparkling lemonade and 75 ml lime and mint sparkling lemonade.
Kir royal style
Add 10 ml crème de mûre or crème de cassis to the bottom of the flute before the prosecco. The colour deepens and the fruit turns jammy.
Another flavour
With a clementine sparkling lemonade, think of a mimosa that stays fizzy to the last sip. With a raspberry sparkling lemonade, the flute turns bright pink for Valentine's Day.
Prosecco and lemonade: your questions
What kind of prosecco is best?
A brut prosecco, the driest style you'll commonly find. No pricey bottle needed: the lemonade takes up half the glass.
Can I use champagne or cava?
Yes, with the same equal-parts ratio. Cava is dry and zippy, and champagne brings brioche notes that pair nicely with blackberry.
How many flutes from one bottle?
About 10 flutes of 150 ml from one 750 ml bottle plus 2 cans. With the light ratio (1 to 2), about 15 flutes with 4 cans.
How do I keep it from foaming over?
Keep everything ice cold, tilt the flute to 45 degrees and pour the prosecco first. Wait for its foam to settle, and never add ice.
