Five Prosecco Cocktails to Celebrate National Prosecco Day
Ahhh prosecco! The Italian cousin to champagne, this bubbly beverage that makes even the simplest of cheese boards seem fancy and was made for summer sipping. Whether you’re throwing a backyard BBQ trying to get your parents to approve of your high-school sweetheart turned flame rekindler like Mrs. Schaffer in “Dawn and the Impossible Three” or meeting up girlfriends in the park for a socially distanced meetup for National Prosecco Day. These five cocktails are sure to put you in a festive mood and be a refreshing respite from the summer heat.
Blood Orange Champagne Mule
Half Baked Harvest
A citrus, bubbly twist on the now iconic Mule. Sparklers not required but highly recommended for Karen Brewer approved drama.
2. Mrs. Robinson

With a hint of pineapple, this cocktail will make you feel like you are relaxing on a beach no matter where you might find yourself.
3. Limoncello Prosecco with Blueberries and Thyme
Downshiftology
Even if you aren’t like Stephanie and grow your own thyme, this cocktail in all it’s lemony goodness will have you imagining you are sitting on a yacht somewhere just off the Amalfi Coast.
4. The Love Potion Cocktail
Lark & Linen
Despite this cocktail being inspired by Valentine’s Day, it has all the makings of a summer fling. This is 100% what Stacey would be drinking when trying to get the hot-hot lifeguard’s attention should she have been of age in “Boy Crazy Stacey.”
5. Plum and Thyme Prosecco Smash
My Diary of Us
Not only will you get a drink that will satisfy your taste buds, the muddling it takes to create this craft concoction will also help with some stress relief.
And if just sipping isn’t enough excitement, Prosecco Pong!
The slightly more classy version of the beer variety, Prosecco Pong is the only way to go to keep things fun in the sun!
