The Perfect Raspberry Lemonade
This Raspberry Lemonade Prosecco is the easiest summer drink I make. Chilled Prosecco and raspberry lemonade are poured over crushed ice and fresh raspberries, then finished with lemon and mint. If you love my Lemonade Prosecco or my Watermelon Basil Spritzer, you will reach for this one all season.
Moreover, it takes about five minutes and only a few ingredients. Equally important, the longer it sits, the more the flavors infuse.
In essence, it is sunshine in a glass. Serve it at your next brunch alongside my Champagne Bar.
What Is a Raspberry Lemonade Prosecco?

Coupe Glasses
Wide-bowled coupes are easier to garnish than flutes and they photograph far better, which matters at a party where every glass gets a picture.
Champagne Flutes
Keep a set back for the toast — flutes hold their bubbles longer than a coupe does.
Standing Ice Bucket
A floor-standing bucket keeps two bottles cold and off the table, which is the difference between a bar that stays tidy and one that does not.
Tabletop Ice Bucket
A smaller bucket on the bar itself for the bottle currently in use.
Glass Syrup Pitchers
Small open pitchers are what get the syrups used — a guest will pour from a pitcher and will not open an unfamiliar bottle.
Glass Juice Carafes
Decanting juice out of the carton is the cheapest upgrade on the whole bar.
Small Garnish Bowls
A matched set of small bowls, refilled twice, looks abundant all evening.
Bar Spoon and Ice Tongs
A long spoon for stirring the syrups into each glass, plus ice tongs for the garnishes so nobody uses their fingers.
Champagne Stoppers
A proper stopper keeps an open bottle drinkable overnight, which turns leftover champagne into tomorrow’s mimosas.
Cake Stand or Riser
Height is what makes a bar read from across the room rather than looking like bottles on a table.
Small Chalkboard Labels
Label the syrups and the mixers. Unlabelled pitchers get ignored.
Berry Ice Cube Tray
Cubes with berries or edible flowers frozen inside are the one decorative touch that also does a job.
