It’s always nice to greet your guests with a refreshing cocktail at your holiday soirées. It’s even better if the cocktails have festive bubbles in them! Here are a couple of my favorites which are topped off with Prosecco. I love to add Prosecco to my cocktails because it adds a touch of fruity flavor and gives the drinks a festive little effervescence.

Sunflower Royale
Sunflower Royale
Makes 1 cocktail
- 1.5 ounces gin
- 1.5 ounces blood orange liqueur (I like to use Solerno Blood Orange liqueur)
- 1.5 ounces elderflower liqueur (I like to use St. Germain)
- 1.5 ounces lemon juice

- Lemon peel garnish
Place gin, blood orange liqueur, Elderflower liqueur and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled champagne flute. Top off the flute with prosecco. Serve with a lemon peel garnish.
I bought tiny clothespins at the craft store to attach my lemon peel garnish to the champagne flute rim.
