6 Ways to Enjoy Proseco
June 24th 2010 09:14
Proseco is one of my go to summer beverages. I love it with a slight chill and it seems to accompany all things summer quite well. I usually order it in the restaurants with Insalate Caprese but I like it by itself - especially when sitting outside enjoying the sunshine.
So naturally I started thinking about all the fun things I could do with this beverage beyond simply just drinking it plain. Off the top of my head I've come up with 6 options.
1. Fruit Salad with Proseco
I love a good fruit salad. There's nothing better than slicing up fresh, in season fruit and pouring something over it. Sometimes I choose that something to be Proseco. Just slice fruit up into individual dessert glasses and pour chilled Proseco over. You can also mix in a splash of grapefruit or orange juice.
2. Proseco Fruit Cocktail
This is along the same lines as the Proseco Fruit Salad and works especially well with strawberries. Clean and slice one strawberry. Place in a Champagne flute and pour Proseco over it. If you let it sit for a minute, the fruit flavor starts to seep into the beverage. Delicious.
3. Proseco and Ice Cream
This is another fun twist and makes for a very simple and flavorful dessert. I find the combination of Proseco and vanilla ice cream to be outstanding. Place a scoop of two of ice cream (I like vanilla and mint for this but you can use anything) into a dessert glass. Pour Proseco over and enjoy.
4. Proseco Vinaigrette
Whisk 1/4 cup light olive oil, 1/8 cup white wine vinegar, and 1/8 cup Proseco together. This dressing works well with light summer salads or you can even use it as a marinade for meat. Feel free to add things like spices, onions, and garlic, too.
5. Proseco Punch
You know how a lot of standard punch recipes use ginger ale? Well, why not substitute that for Proseco? Instead of doing a straight substitute, you can also leave some ginger ale in the recipe and just substitute it for a little Proseco. For example, if the recipe calls for 4 cups of ginger ale, you can use 2 cups of Proseco and 2 cups of ginger ale.
6. Proseco Sangria
Most Sangria recipes call for wine. Instead of use wine, substitute it for Proseco. Or you can substitute some of the wine for Proseco. It tends to lighten up the beverage and gives it a nice fizzy quality.
Do you have any ideas for using Proseco?
