Happy Hour: Spread Holiday Cheer This Party Season with a Sparkling Prosecco Spritz

Ah, the holiday season: It’s the perfect time to add some sparkle to your life, and we’re not just talking about holiday dresses, either. Celebrate the most mirthful time of the year by toasting with one of our favorite prosecco cocktails, the Sparkling Prosecco Spritz. Simple to whip up for a New Year’s Eve fête–or any other party, really–this fizzy, festive beverage requires only three ingredients and a few seconds of your time to create (because the holidays are busy enough, right?).

The season doesn’t really feel official without clinking at least one glass of the bubbly, which is why we’re celebrating with an easy champagne cocktail recipe. We used Prosecco, the Italian version of champagne that has a fruitier flavor profile than its effervescent cousin. Combined with grapefruit bitters for a citrusy zing and a cube of Demerara sugar, this sparkling sip is virtually effortless to prepare and feels like a holiday party in a glass–er, flute.

Want to whip up a round of prosecco cocktails for your next soiree? Scroll on to see how it’s done–cheers!
