For those unfamiliar, Prosecco is a type of Italian sparkling wine that has gained immense popularity worldwide, including in the US. Its crisp flavor and effervescence make it an excellent base for various cocktails.
In this post, I’ll be sharing some easy-to-make and delicious combinations that blend Prosecco with fruit juices, liqueurs, and other ingredients. So, let’s get mixing!

Directions
To create a refreshing twist on traditional punch, start by crafting unique ice cubes that infuse your drink with flavor. Simply place 1-2 fresh mint leaves into each space on an ice cube tray, followed by ¼ to ⅓ cup of pomegranate seeds. Fill the tray with water and let it freeze until solid. Once frozen, these flavorful ice cubes will add a burst of citrusy goodness to your punch as they melt. Next, combine orange juice, pomegranate juice, and your preferred liquor in a large punch bowl.
Add the prepared ice cubes to the mixture, then stir in some champagne to give it a celebratory touch. Finally, top off the punch with the remaining pomegranate seeds and slices of orange. As you serve this delightful concoction, feel free to garnish with additional mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
