Picture this: you’re holding a cocktail so glamorous it could steal the spotlight at any party.
Enter the Pink Velvet Fizz – a sparkling concoction of prosecco, vanilla vodka, strawberry puree, and a frothy egg white crown, all dusted with edible pink shimmer.
It’s like a bubbly, blushing masterpiece in a glass. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, girls’ night, or even a baby shower (for the guests, of course).
Trust me, this cocktail doesn’t just taste amazing; it feels like a celebration. The creamy texture from the egg white meets the playful fizz of prosecco, while vanilla and strawberry bring a dessert-like decadence.
It’s indulgent, fun, and just a little flirty – everything you want in a drink.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to make one Pink Velvet Fizz:
- 2 oz vanilla vodka
- 1 oz strawberry puree (fresh or store-bought)
- 1 egg white (for froth)
- 3 oz prosecco (chilled)
- 1/2 tsp edible pink shimmer (optional, but fabulous)
- Ice (for shaking)
Breaking Down the Ingredients
Vanilla Vodka: This adds the creamy, sweet base that ties the drink together. If you don’t have vanilla vodka, you can cheat by adding a drop of vanilla extract to plain vodka.
Strawberry Puree: Fresh strawberries work best here for flavor and color. Simply blend strawberries until smooth. Store-bought puree is a convenient option if you’re short on time.
Egg White: Don’t be scared of raw egg whites! They’re key to achieving that dreamy, frothy top. Use pasteurized eggs for peace of mind.
Prosecco: The fizz factor! A dry prosecco balances the sweetness of the vodka and strawberry. Splurge a little here for the best results.
Edible Pink Shimmer: Totally optional, but it turns your cocktail into a showstopper. Think of it as makeup for your drink.
How to Make A Pink Prosecco Velvet Fizz
1. Prepare Your Shaker
Grab a cocktail shaker and add your vanilla vodka, strawberry puree, and egg white.
Don’t add ice just yet. You’ll want to do a dry shake first (shaking without ice) to emulsify the egg white and create that thick, velvety foam.
Shake it like your favorite song just came on – about 15 seconds should do.
2. Add Ice and Shake Again
Now, add ice to the shaker and give it a second, more vigorous shake. This chills the drink and dilutes it just enough for perfect balance.
Pro tip: If the shaker gets frosty on the outside, you’re doing it right.
3. Strain Into a Glass
Strain the mixture into a coupe or flute glass. The frothy top should naturally separate and settle beautifully.
4. Top with Prosecco
Pour the chilled prosecco gently down the side of the glass. This keeps the foam intact while adding that essential sparkle.
Take a moment to admire your work because it’s already stunning!
5. Add the Final Touch
Sprinkle the edible pink shimmer on top. This step is optional, but come on – it’s pink glitter. It’s like putting the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae.
Tips for Cocktail Perfection
- Glassware Matters: A coupe glass enhances the visual appeal and helps the foam stay prominent.
- Chill Everything: Keep your prosecco, glassware, and even your shaker cold to ensure a crisp and refreshing result.
- Batch It Up: Hosting a party? Multiply the ingredients and make a big batch of the vodka, puree, and egg white mixture. Shake portions individually and top with prosecco as you go.
