Prosecco Grapes
Sweet, sparkly, and just a little boozy - these Prosecco Grapes are the easiest three-ingredient party treat you'll ever make. Soak green grapes in prosecco overnight, roll in sugar, and serve frozen or chilled. Every guest will ask for the recipe.
Ingredients
- 3–4 cups green grapes (firm and crunchy - not soft or overripe)
- 1 bottle Prosecco or Champagne (no need for an expensive bottle)
- 1 cup cane sugar
Instructions
- Wash the grapes thoroughly under cold water. Remove each grape individually from the stem.
- Use a toothpick to poke 2–3 small holes in each grape. This allows the prosecco to soak in deeply.
- Place the grapes in a large bowl and pour the full bottle of prosecco over them. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, or overnight. Grapes can soak up to 24 hours.
- Drain the prosecco from the grapes. (Optional: save the drained liquid to use as a cocktail mixer.)
- While the grapes are still wet, toss them in the cane sugar until fully coated. Work quickly so the sugar sticks to the damp surface.
- Spread the sugared grapes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to serve, or freeze for a frozen treat.
- Serve in martini glasses, coupe glasses, or small cups. Enjoy!
Notes
- Always use firm, crunchy grapes. Soft or overripe grapes will not give you the right texture.
- Do not skip the toothpick holes - this is what allows the prosecco to infuse the inside of the grape.
- Roll grapes in sugar immediately after draining while they are still wet, so the sugar adheres properly.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute sparkling grape juice or sparkling cider for the prosecco.
- For flavor variations, try adding a splash of elderflower liqueur, raspberry vodka, or coconut rum to the soak.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 30 days.
- These contain alcohol and are intended for adults only. Please label clearly at parties.
