Berry Pink Lemonade Proscecco Punch Recipe

Creating this Prosecco berry punch feels like crafting a refreshing summer memory with each step, from slicing the strawberries to the moment the bubbles from the Prosecco and club soda dance together. It’s the perfect balance of sweet berries and zesty lemonade that makes hosting feel like a breeze, especially when you add a touch of fresh mint to elevate the experience further.

I enjoy making cool and thirst-quenching cocktails. My Berry Pink Lemonade Prosecco Cocktail is an excellent example.

Strawberries and raspberries, fresh from the market, make this punch an over-the-top treat. I like using frozen strawberries from last summer, since they remind me of the berry-picking I did with my kids, as well as the fresh mint from my garden.

Truly, the only thing better than sipping this drink is using the same ingredients to make a berry-flavored sorbet. Oh, Summer!

This punch is easy to make, and it can be made in advance. I like making it in a half-gallon mason jar.

When serving in a punch bowl, I make sure to ladle in some ice to keep it chilled.

FAQ

• Q: Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh?A: Yes, feel free to use berries that are frozen. Just be sure to fully thaw them before you toss them into the punch.
• Q: How can I make this punch non-alcoholic?A: Sparkling water or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine can be substituted for the Prosecco to make it non-alcoholic.
• Q: Can I prepare the punch in advance?A: Preparing just before serving is optimal for maintaining the fizz. However, slicing the fruits can be done ahead of time.
• Q: Can I use a different type of wine?A: Yes, you can use a different type of sparkling wine or champagne, though it might change the taste a little.
• Q: How long will the punch stay fresh?A: The optimal way to enjoy this is right after you mix it. If you have any left, it can keep in the ‘fridge’ for up to a day.

  * But it won’t be as ‘pop’ as when you first mixed it.
  * And unlike many of the things you can store in a ‘fridge’ (like pizza), this ‘baby’ won’t get better with age.

• Q: Can I adjust the sweetness of the punch?A: Absolutely, modify the sweetness to your liking by incorporating either more or less lemonade concentrate, or mix in some extra club soda or two to achieve your desired taste.
• Q: What if I don’t have lemonade concentrate?A: Replace with DIY lemonade. Squeeze lemons until you have an adequate amount of juice. Combine with sugar in whatever proportion suits your palate. This is a top-notch substitute for store-bought lemonade.

Pro Tips

1. Chill Everything in Advance Make sure all your ingredients, including the lemonade concentrate, Prosecco, and club soda, are thoroughly chilled before mixing. This helps maintain the refreshing quality of the punch and ensures the bubbles stay lively.

2. Muddle Some Fruit Before adding the Prosecco and club soda, gently muddle a small portion of the strawberries and raspberries in the pitcher or bowl. This releases their juices, enhancing the punch’s flavor without making it too pulpy.

3. Add Herbs for Aroma Besides the optional mint leaves for garnish, consider adding a few crushed mint leaves or even a sprig of fresh basil directly into the punch. This imparts a subtle, refreshing aroma and pairs well with the fruitiness of the punch.

4. Use Large Ice Cubes Large or spherical ice cubes melt more slowly than standard ones, keeping the punch cool longer without diluting it too quickly. You might even freeze some whole berries in the ice cubes for a decorative touch.

5. Serve in a Clear Container Using a clear pitcher or punch bowl not only looks elegant but also showcases the vibrant colors of the fruit and mint. This makes the drink more visually appealing and enticing for guests.
