Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (about 125g), plus extra for garnish
- 4 oz limoncello (120ml)
- 1 bottle Prosecco, chilled (750ml)
- 8 oz sparkling water (240ml)
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- Ice cubes (enough to fill pitcher halfway)
- Mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
- 1–2 tbsp simple syrup, if desired (optional, for sweeter taste)
Instructions
- Wash raspberries gently and set aside a few for garnish. Slice lemon thinly. Chill Prosecco, sparkling water, and limoncello.
- Add 1 cup raspberries to the bottom of a large pitcher. Gently muddle with a muddler or wooden spoon until just crushed and some juice is released.
- Fill the pitcher halfway with ice cubes. Add a handful of lemon slices.
- Pour in 4 oz limoncello and stir gently to distribute.
- Add 8 oz sparkling water and give a quick stir, keeping bubbles lively.
- Slowly pour in the chilled bottle of Prosecco, tilting the pitcher to preserve fizz.
- Top with reserved raspberries, mint leaves, and extra lemon slices.
- Serve immediately in wine or spritz glasses, ensuring each glass gets berries and lemon.
Notes
Chill all ingredients thoroughly for best fizz. Muddle raspberries gently to avoid a cloudy drink. Add Prosecco just before serving to keep bubbles fresh. For a sweeter drink, add simple syrup. For a mocktail, replace limoncello with lemonade and Prosecco with sparkling grape juice or lemon soda. Frozen raspberries work well and keep the drink cold.
