Easy Berry Infused Prosecco

Easy Berry Infused Prosecco

Happy Holidays everyone!

These berry infused Prosecco’s have to be the ultimate Christmas drink! Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year. I like to pull them out just before it’s game time, makes pictionary so much more fun!

When following a low-carb diet, always opt for dry prosecco, cava (brut), or champagne (brut or extra dry), and avoid sweet varieties such as demi sec. One 4-oz glass of dry varieties of sparkling wine contains 3-4 grams of carbs and 80-90 kcal. Alcohol content can vary between 11% and 12.5%.

These drinks are so easy to make and yet so pretty. If you’re a Prosecco fan, I’d definitely recommend you give my Low-carb Raspberry and Lime Prosecco Jellies a try too (I'll share the recipe next week). Enjoy!

Ingredients (makes 7 servings)
  • 1 bottle of dry Prosecco, Cava or Champagne (750 ml/ 26 fl oz)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries or berries of choice (150 g/ 5.3 oz) - raspberries, blueberries, strawberries or blackberries work best
Instructions
  1. Add roughly 2 tbsp of berries to a glass and top with Prosecco. Leave for 10-15 minutes. The longer you leave them to infuse the more colourful the Prosecco will be. I like to crush a few berries too to make it colour quicker and that way you keep the fizz without it going flat.

  2. Option to open the Prosecco bottle, add the berries and seal with a bottle stop to let the berries infuse for about an hour.
