Prosecco Cocktail
With a twist or two this cocktail turns up the fun on the traditional sparkling wine. Add a subtle note of citrus with a gentle twist, a light touch of sweetness from a glistening cube of sugar topped with the spice of angostura bitters!
Equipment
- Champagne flutes for serving
Ingredients
- 1 cube sugar
- 2 to 3 drops angostura bitters
- Prosecco, champagne, or your favorite sparkling wine
- 1 orange or lemon twist
Instructions
- Place the cube of sugar on a spoon. Shake the angostura bitters on the sugar.
- Drop the sugar cube into the bottom of a champagne flute and pour in the sparkling wine.
- Give the orange or lemon twist a squeeze to release the oils and drop it into the glass or hang it off the side.
Notes
If you can’t find cubes of sugar you can make your own by mixing ¼ cup water with ½ teaspoon water or orange water. Pack the sugar mixture into small molds or mini muffin liners. Let the sugar cubes dry overnight. Makes 8 to 10 molded cubes of sugar.
I tend to lean towards a glass of prosecco, but if your preference is champagne either will give you beautiful results.
