Your Burning Questions Answered

Can I make this ahead of time?
You can muddle the raspberries and mix them with limoncello ahead of time, but add the prosecco just before serving to keep the bubbles fresh.

Can I make it non-alcoholic?
Absolutely! Use lemon syrup or lemonade in place of limoncello and swap prosecco for sparkling water or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine.

What’s the best prosecco to use?
A dry or extra-dry prosecco works best to balance the sweetness of the limoncello and raspberries.
