Strawberry Watermelon Prosecco Spritzers

Celebrate summer with oh so refreshing strawberry watermelon Prosecco spritzers! Sparkling Prosecco plus giant strawberry infused watermelon ice cubes makes for the perfect simple cocktail.

Nothing says summer quite like a watermelon. Turn that into a refreshing spritzer, and it is summer drink gold. So naturally when Riondo Prosecco asked me to create a fun way to experience summer with their Prosecco, I knew I had to bring the summer spritzer (with a twist) to life.

Plus, I’d been wanting to create a fruity giant ice cube, and using them to chill one of my favorites – a sparkling prosecco – seemed like the perfect summer cocktail.

I adore the idea of a flavored ice cube slowly melting into your drink in the summer heat. And let me just say, the result was a drink that tasted sweeter and sweeter, and bursting with fresh watermelon, with every sip, without being overpowering.

And I mean, can we talk about these large ice cube trays? I found these silicone trays and fell immediately in love. They’re BPA free and super easy to use (the silicone makes it so that your ice cubes pop right out with not much effort), and they make these amazing giant ice cubes.

We also freeze juice in these with a popsicle stick for big square popsicles in the summer for our kids.

To make the ice cubes, I just poured fresh watermelon juice into the ice cube trays and sliced a few ripe strawberries into each cube, and then froze the tray. Once the cubes were frozen, I popped two in each glass and topped them with prosecco. The result was SO yummy, and the perfect easy summer refreshment.

Fun Fact: Riondo Prosecco was voted the #1 prosecco in Italy (2010) as an Authentic Italian import beverage. How’s that for a ringing endorsement?

Now on to the oh-so-simple recipe …
