Prosecco is a fruity, fizzy Italian wine—made from the white Prosecco grape—that is ideal for summer. Mix up a batch of this bubbly sangria for an aperitif. If you can't find Morello cherries, use fresh or frozen tart red cherries for macerating. Spoon a few into each glass.
1 lemon
1 cup bottled Morello cherries, drained, or pitted fresh or frozen tart red cherries
1/2 cup black cherry juice or cherry juice
1/2 cup orange liqueur (Cointreau)
1/4 cup brandy
OneS 750-liter bottle Prosecco
8 oz. raspberry-flavored ginger ale
Ice
Mint sprigs
1. Squeeze juice from the lemon. Combine lemon juice, cherries, black cherry juice, orange liqueur, and brandy in a large covered pitcher. Chill overnight to macerate.
2. To serve, add Prosecco, raspberry-flavored ginger ale, and ice; stir. Pour into tall glasses and garnish with fresh mint. Makes 8 servings.
