The Rossini is an explosion of joy in the glass. Fruity! Fresh! And a great companion for pastry, too! Muddle strawberries with Prosecco DOC in a breath to summer sweetness.

4. The Hugo

The Hugo is a summer harmony of sparkling Prosecco DOC, elderflower syrup and a touch of tonic water, a dance of flavors that awakens the senses. Now close your eyes. Imagine yourself sitting in a small typical bar after a long day spent walking in the wonders of Italy. The fresh scent, the enveloping sweetness of elderberry and the sparkle of Prosecco DOC. I have already convinced you to drink it, no?!

Ingredients

-20ml of lemon balm or elderflower syrup

-150ml of Prosecco DOC

-a slice of lemon or lime

– salt or soda

-fresh mint leaves

-ice

Preparation

The advice is to start by pouring some ice into the glass, so that our Proseco DOC retains its sparkling part. Add the syrup and thin the drink a little with some soda. Mix carefully and delicately and embellish with a fresh mint topping and a slice of lime. Cheers!

5. Limoncello Spritz

Yes, we said we wanted to change the Spritz but this Limoncello version is nothing like the classic recipe in terms of taste. On the palate it’s a dance in Mediterranean flavors, a trip to the Italian coast, where the sweetness of the lemon marries with the liveliness of the bubbles.  Here you have to replace the Aperol with lemon liqueur then add Prosecco DOC and a dash of ‘sparkling water. There is no better way to enjoy and celebrate, under the summer sun or in the company of friends, the sweetness of life.

Ingredients

-60ml of limoncello

-60ml of Prosecco DOC

-a long lemon peel

-60ml of sparkling water

-ice

Preparation

Put ice in a glass of Prosecco DOC. Pour in the limoncello and sparkling water. Rub the opening of the glass with lemon zest and place it on the edge as a decoration. This will enhance the smell and stimulate the pleasantness of the moment even more!
