Blueberry Limoncello Prosecco Punch

Author: Mary DiSomma

When I pop open a bottle of prosecco, I know I’m about to celebrate. But that doesn’t mean it’s just for fancy things… Even if I’m just having my kids over for dinner, it’s a special occasion to me. Prosecco is for celebrating all the good things in life, no matter how small. This Italian sparkling wine is already a reason to celebrate… and so is limoncello, and so is fresh fruit! 

My Prosecco Blueberry Limoncello recipe first got started when my brother Erik and sister-in-law Tracy sent me a bottle of their homemade limoncello, made from their own homegrown lemons. I couldn’t resist adding a little splash right into my prosecco. It was so good! Then came the blueberries.The other main ingredients in this prosecco punch recipe are blueberries and my Erik and Tracy’s Homemade Limoncello. If you don’t want to wait for homemade limoncello to steep, a store-bought bottle will work fine. You can choose between fresh and frozen blueberries, too—both varieties add a gorgeous color to this festive summer drink.

This punch brings a lot of good things together for an easy-to-make party drink that everyone is sure to adore. Altogether, it’s refreshing, delicious, and perfect when you’re serving a large group—but if you’re only having a few people over, you can cut the recipe in half. But believe me, you’ll wish you made the whole thing!

Erik & Tracy’s Limoncello

Limoncello is so delicious, and it’s fancy enough for special occasions. But that doesn’t mean it’s hard to make at home. Take a few minutes to put this recipe together… then wait a few days, and voila—limoncello from scratch!

Instructions

  1. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peels from the lemons. Make sure to avoid the soft, white pith. You only want the outer peels here! Keep the peeled lemons for another recipe—strawberry lemonade, perhaps?
  2. Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart jar—make sure you have a lid. Pour the alcohol over the peels until the peels are completely submerged. Cover the mixture and let it steep at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
  3. After a few days have passed, add the water and sugar to the 3-quart jar. Shake vigorously to combine. It’s important to use superfine sugar so it dissolves properly! See my final note in the recipe above if you don’t have superfine sugar on hand.
  4. Place the strainer over the top of the 3-quart jar. Carefully pour the lemon peel mixture through the strainer and into the 3-quart jar with the sugar mixture. Discard the lemon peel. Use a long wooden spoon to give the limoncello a good stir. The limoncello is now ready to be poured into sterilized bottles.
  5. Pour the limoncello through a cheesecloth-lined funnel into sterilized bottles. I love to label the bottles so I can give them away as gifts to friends and family. The limoncello can be stored in the sterilized bottles for up to 3 months in the pantry or freezer.
