Ingredients you will need for Berry and Rosemary Prosecco

Here’s what you need to make this sparkling cocktail:

• Berry Simple Syrup:
  • 1 ½ cups Black Label simple syrup
  • 1 cup mixed frozen berries
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
• Cocktail:
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs
  • Fresh raspberries
  • La Marca Prosecco (or your favorite Prosecco)

How to make the Berry Simple Syrup

1. Prepare the Simple Syrup:
   
   In a bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of Black Label simple syrup, 1 cup of mixed frozen berries, and 1 sprig of fresh rosemary.
2. Mash the Mixture:
   
   Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently mash the berries and rosemary into the syrup.
3. Infuse:
   
   Place the mixture in the fridge overnight (or for a minimum of 1 hour if you’re short on time) to let the flavors meld.
4. Strain the Syrup:
   
   After infusing, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the berries and rosemary. Discard the solids, and store the syrup in a squeeze bottle or jar.

How to assemble the Berry and Rosemary Prosecco Cocktail

1. Prepare the Garnish:
   
   Strip the bottom of a rosemary sprig, leaving the needles intact at the top. Thread 3 fresh raspberries onto the stripped portion of the sprig.
2. Add the Simple Syrup:
   
   Pour 1 ounce of the berry simple syrup into the bottom of a champagne flute or wine glass.
3. Top with Prosecco:
   
   Slowly pour La Marca Prosecco (or your favorite Prosecco) into the glass, letting the bubbles do the work of mixing the syrup.
4. Garnish and Serve:
   
   Add the rosemary and raspberry garnish to the glass, and serve immediately.

Tips and tricks for making the best Prosecco cocktail

• Fresh berries for garnish: While frozen berries are great for the syrup, using fresh raspberries for the garnish adds a pop of color and freshness to the presentation.
• Chill your Prosecco: Keep the Prosecco well-chilled before serving to maintain the perfect bubbly texture and flavor.
• Customize the simple syrup: Try experimenting with different berry combinations, or add a hint of citrus zest to the syrup for an extra burst of flavor.
