The popularity of Prosecco is growing throughout Australia so now is the perfect time to add it to your menu if it isn’t already there. It’s both sweeter and lighter than champagne and works great in cocktails.

Here’s a cool Prosecco cocktail to try this Christmas,

Christmas pear Prosecco
Decorate the rim of a Champagne flute by dipping it in a saucer of water then into a dish of one tablespoon caster sugar mixed with half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Add one tablespoon of ginger syrup from a jar of stem ginger into the glass then top with equal quantities of pear juice and Prosecco, garnish with a slice of stem ginger.
