There’s a certain type of joy that tugs at the corners of my mouth when I think about my Prosecco with Clementine and Raspberry recipe. It’s not just the tart burst of citrus from the clementines or the subtle sweetness that the raspberries lend. It’s everything combined – a symphony of flavors that encapsulate the free-spirit and vibrancy of NYC’s culinary landscape.

Prosecco with Clementine and Raspberry

The Sparkle of Prosecco

When the cork pops off the Prosecco, it’s like opening a flurry of excitement. This recipe uses a whole bottle because why not? It’s a celebration, an indulgence. The effervescence of the Prosecco marries so well with the pulpy clementines and mellow raspberries.

It’s an elegant cocktail. It’s similar to a Mimosa but with its own unique twist. I often pair it with light appetizers like a roasted fig and prosciutto or a simple mozzarella, basil, and tomato skewer. A refreshing contrast to these savory bites.

The Health Benefits

We often discuss the flavours and the sensation that food items create, seldom do we focus on the health benefits. This Prosecco with Clementine and Raspberry recipe, though an indulgence, is not devoid of health benefits. Raspberries are loaded with essential nutrients and are packed with antioxidants which can help fortify your immune system. Clementines, too, pack a powerful vitamin C punch and can help improve your skin and digestion.

I love this Prosecco with Clementine and Raspberry recipe because it encapsulates the true spirit of my kitchen – undeniable flavor, a touch of the unexpected, and a nod to the health-conscious. It’s a tad bit of New York City in every glass, a meandering journey through my inspiration. As you take a sip, closing your eyes might just convince you, you’re standing amidst the bustle of Times Square, lost in the magic of the city.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 Bottle of Prosecco (750 ml)
  • 6 Clementines
  • 2 Cups of fresh raspberries
  • 1 Cup of sugar (optional)
  • 6 Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
ALLERGENS: The recipe does not contain any known common allergens.

Method

Step One

Start by washing the clementines and raspberries thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel. Then, peel the clementines and separate them into segments. Set the clementine segments and raspberries aside.

Step Two

If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, create a simple syrup. In a small pot, combine the cup of sugar with one cup of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool down completely before using.

Step Three

Distribute the clementine segments and raspberries evenly among six champagne flutes or other suitable glasses. If you’ve made the simple syrup, add about 1-2 tablespoons of it to each glass.

Step Four

Pour the Prosecco into each glass, filling them about three-quarters of the way. Stir gently using a cocktail spoon or a straw. Make sure the ingredients are well-mixed without losing the Prosecco’s effervescence.

Step Five

Finally, garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf. This step is optional but highly recommended as it adds a fresh and fragrant touch to the cocktail. Your Prosecco with Clementine and Raspberry is now ready to be enjoyed!
