Notes
- Recipe inspired by Bon Appetit.
- My favorite brand of sweet vermouth is Cocchi Vermouth di Torino.
- Feel free to adjust the amounts of ingredients according to your taste preferences.
- Best enjoyed immediately as the sparkling wine loses its fizz if made ahead.
- Technique: Stir the rum, Campari, and vermouth with ice before topping to keep the Prosecco bright and bubbly.
- Variation: Try swapping the rum for gin or using blood orange bitters for a deeper winter twist.
