Italian Prosecco cider in a glass garnished with rosemary sprig
Elegant Italian cider with Prosecco and apple

Italian Prosecco Apple Spritz

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Drinks
An elegant autumn-winter cocktail that combines the homely taste of apple with the Italian fizz of Prosecco. It's not a classic cider (which is fermented apple wine), but a sophisticated mixed drink where the spiced apple base can be made in advance, and simply topped up with sparkling wine when guests arrive.

Instructions

1 ✓

In a large jug, mix the apple juice with the sugar (if using) until dissolved.

Tip: You can help the sugar dissolve by warming a little apple juice, dissolving it in that, then pouring it back into the cold juice.
2 ✓

Drop in the lemon and orange peels (only the coloured part, the white pith is bitter!) and the rosemary sprigs. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Tip: This 'cold steep' (maceration) extracts the essential oils without cooking the flavours.
3 ✓

Strain the apple juice before serving to remove the spices.

Tip: This gives you an elegant, clear drink.
4 ✓

Top up with the cold Prosecco. Stir gently once, carefully.

Tip: Don't stir wildly, or you'll lose the bubbles (carbonation loss).
5 ✓

Serve in glasses, garnished with a fresh sprig of rosemary.

Can I make it in advance?
The apple base yes, but only add the Prosecco when serving, otherwise the fizz will go.
