I know what you're thinking: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. We certainly agree that there's little that can exceed possibly our beloved prosecco (except champagne perhaps...). That said, we could all do with a little variation in our sparkling wine repertoire. And what better variation than a pretty prosecco cocktail?
Now, there's nothing humble or low key about a prosecco cocktail. If you're whipping up one of these delicious concoctions, consider it a celebration in itself. Chose the right one and you could be whipping up something gloriously extra to mark the best of occasions (don't worry, we consider most Friday nights a 'special occasion' to).
But, where do you start? We anticipated your angst and did the Pinterest scouring for you. Here you'll find a selection of some of the nicest, most beautiful (ahem, Instagram worthy) and enticing prosecco cocktail recipes that we could find. We've tried to limit the ingredient list to things that are relatively easy to buy, so chill your best glasses and prepare to pop some bottles.

prosecco recipes
1) Raspberry Sorbet Prosecco

2) Lemonade Prosecco Punch
This concoction by Crazy For Crustwill go down a storm and any and all social gatherings. Your only problem may be that this vodka, lemonade and prosecco drink might go down a little too well...
3) Sparkling Limoncello Cocktail
We're very much into this 'three ingredient recipe' thing, and Inside The Rustic Kitchen has a great one to add to your collection. Swap the after dinner limoncello shot for something a little lighter, and much more refreshing.
