Ingredients & Substitutions
Pomegranate Juice: Fresh pomegranate juice is best for flavor, but store-bought works too. If you need a substitute, cranberry juice can add a nice touch, although it’s sweeter.
Prosecco: Use any chilled sparkling wine. If you can’t find Prosecco, Cava or Champagne are great alternatives, offering a similar bubbly experience.
Pomegranate Seeds: These seeds not only look pretty but add crunch. If you can’t find them, consider using edible flowers or even blueberries for a fun twist!
Rosemary: Fresh rosemary is great for aroma, but thyme or mint can also work well if you want a different herb flavor.
How Can I Make Sure My Cocktail is Fizzy and Delicious?
The secret to a great Pomegranate Prosecco Cocktail lies in how you combine the ingredients. Start by using a chilled glass to keep your drink refreshing and bubbly. Pour the Prosecco slowly over the pomegranate juice to maintain the fizz.
- Chill all your ingredients in advance — a cold glass and chilled Prosecco are key!
- Pour gently to prevent the bubbles from overflowing, keeping the drink fizzy.
- Add garnishes right before serving to keep them fresh and vibrant.

Can I Use Bottled Pomegranate Juice Instead of Fresh?
Yes, bottled pomegranate juice works just fine! Just make sure to choose a 100% juice option with no added sugars for the best flavor.
How Can I Adjust the Sweetness of the Cocktail?
If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add a splash of simple syrup or even a touch of grenadine to the mix. For a less sweet option, use more Prosecco and less juice.
What Other Garnishes Can I Use?
If rosemary isn’t your style, consider garnishing with mint leaves, a slice of lime, or even additional pomegranate seeds. Each will give your cocktail a unique twist!
Can I Prepare This Cocktail in Advance?
It’s best to serve this cocktail fresh to maintain the fizz. However, you can prepare the pomegranate juice and have your Prosecco chilled in advance. Just mix them together right before serving!
