Ingredients
These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:
-
???? 3–4 fresh strawberries, sliced – sweet and juicy base
-
???? 1 oz limoncello – Italian lemon liqueur, bright and sweet
-
???? 4–5 oz chilled prosecco – light and bubbly Italian sparkling wine
-
???? Fresh mint or basil (optional) – adds a herbal pop
-
???? Lemon twist or wheel – for garnish
-
???? Ice cubes or frozen strawberry slices – keeps it cool without watering it down
-
???? Optional honey or simple syrup (½ tsp) – to sweeten if desired
Instructions
Step 1:
Wash and slice the strawberries. Place them into the bottom of a wine glass or champagne flute.
Step 2:
Muddle gently with a spoon or muddler to release their juices. If your strawberries are very sweet, no extra sweetener is needed. If they’re more tart, add a small drizzle of honey or simple syrup.
Step 3:
Pour in the limoncello over the strawberries.
Step 4:
Top with chilled prosecco, pouring slowly to preserve bubbles and avoid overflow.
Step 5:
Give it a gentle stir to mix. Garnish with a lemon twist and a sprig of mint or basil for a colorful finish.
Notes
These sparkling cocktails are very forgiving, but a few key tips ensure a perfect pour:
-
✅ Always chill your prosecco and limoncello beforehand to ensure the drink stays cold and bubbly
-
✅ Use ripe, juicy strawberries for best flavor and color
-
✅ Muddle gently—you want juice, not strawberry pulp overload
-
✅ Pour prosecco slowly to preserve carbonation and keep layers separate
