Don’t let the stress of the holidays (shopping, baking, cooking, cleaning) overwhelm you. Let’s have a Riondo Prosecco Julep and relax.

This is an easy cocktail recipe that’s perfect for celebrations big and small.

Whether you simply want to put your feet up and lounge by the fireplace, or get all dressed up and throw a festive ball with friends, you’ll want a glass of this Prosecco julep in hand.

Sparkling Mint Julep Cocktail

Like a traditional mint julep, this cocktail combines mint, sugar, and bourbon. For the finishing touch, it’s topped with chilled Riondo Prosecco.

Make a mint infused simple syrup, instead of muddling together mint and sugar. The mint syrup can be used to sweetened cocktails, iced tea, and coffee!

Italian Sparkling Wine

Riondo Prosecco is an authentic Italian sparkling wine. It is widely accessible throughout the United States.

Riondo Prosecco can be enjoyed chilled on it’s own, or mixed with a variety of juices and spirits. It pairs well with mint and bourbon as shown in this cocktail.

How about trying an Italian version of French 75? Or putting an Italian twist on a margarita? Be sure to visit Riondo for more cocktail recipes and ideas.

Like Champagne, the name Prosecco refers to a specific region and grape. Prosecco has definitely gained in popularity over the years due to it’s approachable style. It’s light and fruity with a hint of sweetness.

While you’re trimming the tree, baking some cookies, or perhaps enjoying movie night with the family, this Prosecco julep would be a fantastic beverage to serve! Cheers!
