Pop the Prosecco, this month’s cocktail is the delicious Mimosa with a twist (of course). So grab your girlfriends a few bottles of Prosecco, and get ready for a great cocktail experience.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces of La Marca Prosecco (find it at MWS)
- Tasting Notes: Our delicate La Marca Prosecco has a pale, golden straw color and sparkles with lively effervescence. Opening with aromas of fresh-picked citrus and honeysuckle blossoms, the crisp, clean palate brings fruity notes of green apple, juicy peach and ripe lemon, framed by hints of minerality. The finish is light and refreshing with a tantalizing hint of sweetness.

Make It:
