These 32 prosecco cocktails run from lazy 2-ingredient mimosas to sunny spritzes and big, fizzy party punches. All of them contain alcohol and are for adults 21+, with an alcohol-free mocktail below.

Quick answer

The easiest prosecco cocktails need just 2 ingredients: a mimosa (orange juice), a Bellini (peach puree), a Kir Royale (crème de cassis) or elderflower prosecco. For 3 ingredients, try an Aperol Spritz (3 oz prosecco, 2 oz Aperol, 1 oz soda) or a limoncello spritz. Always chill the prosecco, add it last and pour slowly to keep the bubbles.

  • 2 ingredients: mimosa, Bellini, Rossini, Kir Royale, Tintoretto.
  • 3 ingredients: Aperol, Campari and limoncello spritzes, Negroni Sbagliato.
  • For a crowd: pineapple or peach prosecco punch; one bottle serves about 6 to 8.
  • No alcohol: use alcohol-free sparkling wine or sparkling white grape juice.

Two-Ingredient Prosecco Cocktails

The easiest drinks on the list: one mixer, topped with cold prosecco. Pour the mixer first and the prosecco slowly, and watch it fizz up beautifully without bubbling over.

1. Prosecco Mimosa

Pour 2 oz chilled orange juice into a flute and top with 4 oz prosecco. Use Brut prosecco so it is not too sweet.

2. Peach Bellini

Add 2 oz white peach puree to a flute, then slowly top with 4 oz prosecco and stir once gently.

Fill a flute halfway with cold stout, then gently top with prosecco. Rich, toasty and surprisingly smooth.

8. Creamsicle Prosecco Float

Tips for Better Prosecco Cocktails

  • Pick the right style: Brut is the driest and best with sweet juices; Extra Dry is slightly sweeter and good for Bellinis and spritzes.
  • Chill everything: prosecco, juice and glasses. Warm prosecco foams over and goes flat fast.
  • Prosecco goes last: pour it slowly down the side of the glass, then stir once, gently.
  • Never shake prosecco: shake the other ingredients, strain, then top with the bubbles.
  • One bottle: a 750 ml bottle makes about 6 flutes at 4 oz each, or 8 spritzes.
  • Drink responsibly: these drinks contain alcohol and are for adults 21 and over in the US. Cocktails with spirits are much stronger than a glass of prosecco.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are 2-ingredient prosecco cocktails?

Easy 2-ingredient prosecco cocktails include the mimosa (orange juice), Bellini (peach puree), Rossini (strawberry puree), Kir Royale (crème de cassis), Tintoretto (pomegranate juice), elderflower prosecco and the Black Velvet (stout). Pour the mixer first, then top slowly with cold prosecco.

What mixes well with prosecco?

Prosecco mixes well with orange, peach, pomegranate, cranberry and grapefruit juice, plus liqueurs such as Aperol, Campari, limoncello, elderflower and crème de cassis. Gin, vodka and tequila also work in shaken cocktails topped with prosecco. Fresh mint, berries and citrus make simple garnishes.

What is the ratio for an Aperol Spritz?

The classic Aperol Spritz ratio is 3-2-1: 3 parts prosecco, 2 parts Aperol and 1 part soda water, served over ice in a large wine glass with an orange slice. For a drier, less sweet spritz, use a little less Aperol and a little more soda.

Can you use champagne instead of prosecco in cocktails?

Yes. Champagne, cava or any dry sparkling wine works in these recipes. Prosecco is usually fruitier and less expensive, which is why it is popular for mixing. Champagne gives a drier, toastier drink. Keep the same measurements and add the sparkling wine last.

How do you make a prosecco cocktail without alcohol?

Swap the prosecco for alcohol-free sparkling wine, sparkling white grape juice or sparkling water, and leave out any spirits or liqueurs. A virgin Bellini or mimosa works well. These drinks are a good choice for guests under 21, drivers and anyone not drinking.
