Gin and Prosecco Cocktails
Prosecco and sparkling wines make excellent bases for cocktails especially fruit based. Gin and prosecco (gin and champagne too) work well together because the relatively delicate flavours of prosecco don’t overwhelm the gin.
We have made suggestions for some cocktails you can enjoy now autumn is here and as winter approaches. They’re all quick and easy to make and you don’t need any special equipment. Cheers and enjoy.

Sloe Gin Cocktail
This cocktail is also known as a sloe-secco or a sloe royale. Essentially you’re replacing cassis and champagne, with sloe gin and prosecco. The result is a wonderful cocktail for autumn afternoons. Sloe Gin can sometimes be a bit heavy on its own, adding some prosecco lightens the mood while still allowing you to enjoy the rich flavours from the sloes.
Ingredients
- 25ml sloe gin
- 150 ml prosecco
Method
Pour the sloe gin over some ice in a tumbler. Top with prosecco and stir gently. Serve immediately.

Clementine Cocktail
A Christmas favourite and a take on the bellini. This is a fruity favourite for sharing with friends.
Ingredients
- 25ml Clementine gin liqueur
- 50ml freshly squeezed clementine juice
- 125ml of prosecco.
Method
Mix the gin and clementine juice and chill in the fridge for an hour. Once chilled pour into a coupe and top up with the prosecco. Garnish with a slice of freeze dried or fresh clementine.

Very Cherry
This cocktail is like a Bakewell tart in the glass. So if you like a spot of afternoon tea now and again, you’ll love this! It’s also quick and easy to make.
Ingredients
- a cherry soaked in kirsch
- 1 tbsp of cherry kirsch
- 40ml amaretto
- 120ml prosecco

No need to choose just one fruity flavour, when you can have two!

- 25mls pink grapefruit juice

Method
In a small jug mix the gin and grapefruit juice together. Add some ice to a highball glass. Pour the gin and juice mixture over the ice. Top up with the prosecco. Decorate with a twist of pink grapefruit.
