Two Autumn Cocktails with Prosecco DOC

Even Autumn calls for something special. Light, aromatic, and brimming with personality, these two new cocktails from Alessandro Geraci and Gaspare Di Carlo of Hospitalian showcase the versatility of Prosecco DOC, both in its Extra Dry and Rosé forms.

Italiano DOC

Elegant, aromatic, and vibrant – this cocktail is sunshine in a glass. Served in a flute, it blends Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, Seven Hills Gin, fresh lemon, and basil & black pepper syrup, before being topped with Prosecco DOC Extra Dry. Finished with citrus and saffron dust, it’s refined yet refreshing, ideal for sunset aperitivi.

Recipe:

• 20 ml Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto

• 20 ml Seven Hills Gin

• 10 ml Fresh lemon juice

• 10 ml Basil & black pepper syrup

• Topped with Prosecco DOC Extra DryMethod: Shake & strain, serve in a flute (no ice)Garnish: Citrus & saffron dust

  
  

Ho “Sbagliato” Spritz

A playful reinvention of the classic spritz. Here, Prosecco DOC Rosé brings freshness and sparkle to Savoia Americano Rosso and fig-infused Cocchi Vermouth di Torino. The finishing touch? A balsamic-glazed dried fig with a slice of Grana Padano PDO – a garnish that takes things to another level.

Recipe:

• 30 ml Savoia Americano Rosso

• 30 ml Cocchi Vermouth di Torino (fig-infused)

• Topped with Prosecco DOC RoséMethod: Build in a highball over iceGarnish: Balsamic-glazed dried fig + Grana Padano PDO

  
  

A Taste of Summer, the Italian Way

These cocktails show just how far Prosecco DOC can go beyond the ordinary spritz. Whether you’re sipping the elegant Italiano DOC on a terrace or enjoying the bold, playful Ho “Sbagliato” Spritz at an open-air aperitivo, each one brings the flavour of an Italian summer to your glass.

Cin cin to creativity, sunshine, and Prosecco DOC.
