Steps for making the Raspberry Spritz
1. Prepare the glass
Fill the wine glass halfway with ice cubes or crushed ice. This will keep the Spritz chilled while slightly diluting the alcohol for the perfect balance.
2. Pour in the raspberry liqueur
Add 4 cl of raspberry liqueur to the glass. This step adds a colourful, fruity touch to the cocktail.
3. Add the prosecco
Pour in 6 cl of prosecco slowly, to preserve the fine bubbles of the sparkling wine and keep the cocktail light.
4. Add the sparkling water
Add about 2 cl of sparkling water, which completes the drink without altering its taste. You can adjust the quantity to your taste for a more or less fizzy drink.
5. Decorate with fresh raspberries
Place a few fresh raspberries in the glass to intensify the fruity flavour and enhance the presentation.
6. Add a touch of lime
Place one or two slices of lime around the rim of the glass or directly into the Spritz for a refreshing contrast.
7. Stir and enjoy
Stir gently with the spoon to combine the ingredients without breaking the bubbles of the prosecco. Add a straw and enjoy!

Our tips and tricks
- Adjust the sweetness: For a sweeter Spritz, add a drizzle of raspberry syrup or a touch of cane sugar. This will accentuate the fruitiness and soften the taste.
- Choose a quality prosecco : The quality of prosecco is essential for a good Spritz. Opt for a brut, slightly dry prosecco, which will balance out the sweetness of the raspberry and give a harmonious flavour.
- Add fresh herbs: For an extra refreshing flavour, try adding a sprig of thyme or basil just before serving. This adds a herbaceous touch that contrasts nicely with the raspberry.
- Serve chilled: Raspberry Spritz is best served chilled. Remember to chill the prosecco first and be sure to add plenty of ice cubes for the most refreshing summer drink.
This quick and easy Raspberry Spritz is the perfect cocktail for lovers of fruity summer drinks. Whether you're preparing it for an evening out with friends or for a sunny aperitif, this cocktail with prosecco and fresh raspberries will charm you with its bright colour and light, sparkling
