Summer, the season where we spend our days outdoors, dining al fresco and soaking up the sun, is finally upon us – the perfect months to spend time relaxing beachside with a drink in hand. Mixologist Troy Sidle of Manhattan hotspot Pouring Ribbons put together the perfect Prosecco cocktails to quench your thirst.
Sunny Weather is a refreshing cocktail, ideal for those basking in the summer sun, while Brioso is an impressive summer treat that will keep you Lively (the meaning of “Brioso”) even in the late-night summer hours.
Sunny Weather, a cocktail as bright and delicious as the name, is a refreshing libation perfect for sipping with friends pool-side. In this delightful cocktail, the sweetness of the St. Germain and Ruffino Prosecco is perfectly balanced with the more bitter Campari and Grapefruit juice.
