I love to combine fruit flavors to make interesting beverages. Especially if I can put together fresh cut fruit with fruit juice to get the best of both worlds. This particular cocktail is perfect for a bridal or baby shower as its lighter with prosecco instead of a harder stronger alcohol. Pineapple Pomegranate Prosecco Smash is going to be a favorite all spring long and well into the summer months.
If you are not familiar with Prosecco it is basically the Italian version of champagne. The main difference (other than the region its from) is that Prosecco is produced in by the tank while champagne is produced by the bottle. It is a sparkling white wine that provides the bubbles of a fun drink.
Substitutes and Variations:
If you want to make this a mocktail, you can use club soda or lemon-lime soda in place of the Prosecco. If you want to make it a little stronger, you can use a combination of vodka and lemon-lime soda in place of the Prosecco.
Suggestions for Sides:
As I mentioned above, this is a lovely drink for a Shower. You can make a pitcher of it and let people pour as they like. It goes great with light refreshing finger foods as well as a backyard bbq type situation.
Tools that may make this recipe easier:
While it’s not necessary, you can use special ice molds to make drinks a little more fun. You can use round molds or big square molds. I find that the silicone ones are the easiest to use. You also could use a double sided shot glass – also called a jigger – to make measuring out the portions simpler.
