Notes

ℹ️ troubleshooting tips

  • adjust the ratio - if the flavor of your spritz isn’t quite right, you can adjust to your taste preferences. You can add more soda water to mellow out the flavor, or you can omit the soda water altogether. #NoJudgment 😏
  • chill out - make sure all ingredients are properly chilled before you mix your drinks. This is one of the biggest mistakes I see folks make when mixing drinks at home!
  • get the best flavor - making your own blood orange liqueur is the best way to get top-notch flavor, but if you can’t make your own, I recommend using a high quality store-bought brand, like Solerno blood orange liqueur.

⚖️ Wanna serve this cocktail to a crowd?

It's super easy to scale this blood orange prosecco cocktail up for a party!
Just make sure that you combine all ingredients shortly before you plan to serve your spritzes. This will keep the bubbles in tact longer for your guests. After a couple hours, this drink will start to go flat, and that's NOT so fun.
You can also make fun and seasonal ice cubes like these blood orange ice cubes in a king size cube to make for a really stunning display while also keeping your drink cool. 😎
