Cavit's Frosecco™ Recipe

Perfect for a hot summer day! This frozen Prosecco based drink is a refreshing combination of sweet and bubbly. Cavit's recipe is easy to make it at home. Simply pour a bottle of Cavit Prosecco into a freezer proof container and freeze overnight. Add the frozen Prosecco, ¼ cup fresh lime juice, ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, two tablespoons sweetener (you can use agave, sugar or other sweeteners) and a ½ cup of ice in a blender and within seconds you will have Frosecco. It is best served in a wine glass and can be garnished with a lime or lemon wheel.

Cavit Collection Wines debuted its Prosecco in spring 2018. The Prosecco joined in the success of the Cavit Collection Wines (the #1 selling Italian wine brand in the US) and entered the popular category. Produced from 100% Glera grapes, Cavit Prosecco strikes a balance between mouth-watering freshness and lush fruit flavors reminiscent of green apple, pineapple and citrus fruits.. The wine's character is further expressed through its premium packaging, featuring an elegant copper label and uniquely patterned capsule. Cavit Prosecco pairs well with seafood, cheeses, nuts, cured meats and desserts. Its suggested retail price is $14.99.
