Prosecco Digestif Recipes

PROSECCO PUNCH

Steps:

• Add to a large pitcher the white grape juice and pomegranate juice. Pour the juice into 1 muffin tin, filling the cups half of the way up. Drop a few fresh raspberries and pomegranate seeds into each muffin cup and place in the freezer until frozen.
• Place the pitcher with the remaining juice in the fridge until ready to serve. Right before serving, pour the juice into a punch bowl and top with ginger ale and prosecco.
• Remove the muffin tin from the freezer and remove the ice cubes with a small spatula; let sit out for a minute if they don't pop out. Add ice cubes to punch bowl and serve!

COFFEE-CHOCOLATE DIGESTIF

Steps:

• Make the infused vodka: Combine the vodka, cacao nibs and coffee beans in a clean jar and seal. Shake, then infuse at room temperature, out of the sunlight, at least 4 days and up to 1 week. Strain the infused vodka through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter.
• Make the simple syrup: Bring the brown sugar and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Make the cocktail: Combine 1 1/2 ounces infused vodka with the Averna, bitters and 1/2 ounce of the simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until frothy, then strain into a small glass.

PROSECCO WITH RASPBERRY CASSIS ICE CUBES

Steps:

• Stir together the cassis, lemon juice and 1 cup water. Divide the mixture among 6 slots of an ice cube tray; insert a raspberry into each. Freeze until solid, 1 to 2 hours.
• Drop the ice cubes into 6 Champagne flutes. Top off with prosecco.

PROSECCO MARGARITAS

Steps:

• Combine the lime juice, tequila, Cointreau and simple syrup in a pitcher. Stir well until combined.
• Place a layer of salt on a small plate. Moisten the rim of a glass with a lime wedge and dip the glass in the salt. Wiggle the glass to cover the wet part of the rim completely. Repeat to rim the remaining glasses.
• Fill the glasses with ice, then fill them halfway with the tequila-lime mixture. Top the glasses with the prosecco, garnish with lime slices and serve.
