This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Riondo Prosecco. All opinions are 100% mine.

Are you a fan of Prosecco? If you’re not familiar, Prosecco is a light and fruity sparkling wine that is subtly sweet.

It is often thought of as a more affordable alternative to champagne but it’s not just for special occasions! Prosecco is light enough to enjoy after work or at a gathering with friends and also perfect as a Christmas Morning Cocktail.

You can mix Prosecco with spirits as a fun, bubbly alternative to traditional cocktails or enjoy it as is.

I enlisted the help of my brother, who is a beverage director at a local restaurant, to help me whip up a delicious drink recipe using it.

Since it was Thanksgiving, we happened to have fresh cranberry relish on hand and after running to the backyard to grab a sprig of mint, he came up with this delicious spritzer.

It is light and festive, which would be impressive to serve a group at a party, while also being simple enough to enjoy alone after a long day or during a late night gift wrapping session.

This drink made our Thanksgiving a bit more bubbly and we have plans on serving this fun Cranberry Prosecco Spritzer again for Christmas gatherings.

Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• cranberry relish
• sprig of mint
• splash of hot water
• dash of kosher salt
• ice
• Prosecco chilled

Instructions

 

• Add one spoon of cranberry relish to a shaker tin (we used one from our local deli that was made fresh with oranges and baking spices), a few sprigs of mint (which stands up to cold weather like a champion and we were able to pick right out of the garden), a splash of hot water, and kosher salt to pull the flavors out and muddle. Shake this with a healthy scoop of ice, fine strain into a flute glass and top with Riondo Prosecco.

Notes

Garnish may be as practical and versatile as you or your guests like. Dress it up for a gathering with an orange twist that will brighten your drink with a warm citrus essence, a scoop of cranberry relish in the glass invokes a sense of bubbly sangria, and a mint sprig will make the drink visually pop in your glass from across the room.
