Pineapple Limoncello Prosecco

If tropical vibes and Italian charm had a baby, it would taste like a Pineapple Limoncello Prosecco cocktail.

This fizzy, refreshing drink is a triple threat: sweet, tangy, and just boozy enough to make it feel like a celebration.

Think of it as the grown-up lemonade stand meets a tiki bar—fun, zesty, and oh-so-easy to make. Perfect for summer brunches, wedding showers, or a random Tuesday when you just need a little sunshine in a glass, this cocktail brings the party without the hassle.

It’s one of my favorites because it’s light, refreshing, and wildly easy to customize. Plus, who doesn’t love a bubbly drink that feels like a mini-vacation?

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 ounces Limoncello (Italian lemon liqueur)
• 3 ounces Pineapple Juice (fresh or store-bought, 100% juice)
• 4 ounces Prosecco (chilled)
• 1 ounce Club Soda (optional, for extra fizz)
• Ice Cubes
• Fresh Pineapple Slices and Lemon Slices (for garnish)
• Fresh Mint Sprigs (optional garnish)

Ingredient Breakdown

Limoncello
This Italian lemon liqueur is the star of the show. Sweet and tangy, it adds a citrusy brightness that balances the pineapple’s tropical sweetness. You can find limoncello at most liquor stores, but if you’re feeling adventurous, homemade limoncello is always a fun project (and a great conversation starter).

Pineapple Juice
The tropical MVP. Pineapple juice gives the drink its sweet, fruity base while keeping the cocktail refreshingly light. If you can, use fresh pineapple juice—it’s brighter and less sugary than the canned version. If fresh isn’t an option, go for 100% pineapple juice with no added sugar.

Prosecco
Every great cocktail deserves a bit of sparkle, and prosecco delivers in style. This Italian sparkling wine is less dry than champagne, which pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the pineapple and limoncello. Make sure it’s chilled for maximum fizz and flavor.

Club Soda
Optional but recommended if you want a bit more fizz without adding extra sweetness. It also helps to dilute the drink slightly if you’re aiming for a lighter sip.

Ice Cubes
An underrated hero in any cocktail. Ice not only chills the drink but also slightly mellows out the flavors for a balanced sip.

Garnishes
Fresh pineapple slices and lemon slices make this drink look as good as it tastes. Mint sprigs add a pop of color and a subtle herbal aroma, elevating the experience without much effort.

How to Make Pineapple Limoncello Prosecco

1. Chill Your Ingredients

Before you start, make sure your prosecco is properly chilled. Warm prosecco is a no-go. Pop it in the fridge a few hours ahead or give it a quick chill in an ice bucket if you’re short on time.

2. Prep Your Glass

Take a tall glass or a fancy wine glass (whatever makes you feel special) and fill it halfway with ice cubes. If you want to get extra fancy, you can rim the glass with sugar—just swipe a lemon wedge around the rim and dip it in granulated sugar for a sparkly touch.

3. Build the Base

Start by pouring 2 ounces of limoncello into the glass. This is your citrusy foundation, so let it shine. Next, add 3 ounces of pineapple juice. Give it a gentle swirl with a spoon to mix the flavors—this ensures that every sip is evenly balanced.

4. Add the Fizz

Here’s where the magic happens. Slowly pour 4 ounces of chilled prosecco into the glass. Be gentle to preserve the bubbles—it’s the fizzy charm that makes this drink sparkle. If you’re a fizz enthusiast, top it off with 1 ounce of club soda.

5. Garnish Like a Pro

Garnishing isn’t just about looks—it’s about creating a full sensory experience. Add a slice of fresh pineapple and a thin lemon wheel to the rim of the glass. If you’re feeling extra, toss in a sprig of fresh mint for an aromatic lift.

6. Taste Test

Always taste before serving—this is your moment to adjust. Too sweet? Add a splash of soda. Too tangy? A tiny drizzle of honey or agave can smooth it out. Remember, this is your cocktail masterpiece.

7. Serve and Enjoy

Grab your glass, find a sunny spot (or pretend it’s sunny), and sip your way to paradise. This drink is best enjoyed immediately while it’s cold and bubbly.

Tips for Success

• Choose the Right Prosecco: Go for a dry or extra-dry prosecco. Anything sweeter might overpower the cocktail’s delicate balance.
• Fresh Garnishes Are Key: Use fresh pineapple and lemon slices—they not only look great but also enhance the flavors of the drink.
• Batch It for a Crowd: Hosting a party? Multiply the recipe and make a pitcher. Just add the prosecco and club soda right before serving to keep the fizz intact.
• Experiment: Feel free to tweak the recipe! Try adding a splash of coconut rum for a tropical twist or swap prosecco with sparkling rosé for a pink hue.
