Holiday Gatherings with Mionetto Prosecco

With the holidays coming up, it’s a good idea to keep certain things in the house. Finger foods like cheese, bread and veggies are all good for entertaining. It was my turn to host our annual Friendsgiving celebration. I was gonna wow my gal pals with a few recipes that I’ve been dying to create. All great events start with amazing cocktails.

Lucky for the group, I had Mionetto Prosecco to start off festivities. I found some easy cocktail recipes on their website www.MionettoProseccoUSA.com. Not only were these drinks easy to make but they involved only a few ingredients that I already had. I welcomed each guest with a chilling glass of Cucumber Refresco. See recipe below:

I received so many compliments on the drink. People talked about how crisp it tasted. It wasn’t what anyone was expecting. Someone even hinted that I should consider another career as a bartender. But I wasn’t done there. As appetizers made their appearance, there was one more surprise for my friends. The Paloma Royale. This was another recipe that I found on their website.
