Cocktails with Prosecco extra dry
Prosecco Extra Dry is an Italian sparkling white wine made mainly from Glera grapes and finished at an off-dry sweetness level, despite the "dry" name.
ABV11–12%
How it's used
The sparkling top for spritzes and Champagne-style drinks, poured last so it keeps its fizz. Extra dry carries a little sugar, which rounds off an Aperol Spritz or a Mimosa without extra syrup.
Substitutes for Prosecco extra dry
Brut Prosecco
Takes the same amount. It is slightly drier, but few drinks will show it.
Champagne
Goes one for one, for a yeastier, less fruity drink.
On the label
- “brut”, “extra dry”, “sec”
- The names run backwards. Per liter, EU rules set brut nature under 3 g of sugar, extra brut 0–6 and brut under 12. Extra dry is 12–17, sec (dry) 17–32, demi-sec 32–50 and doux over 50.
Storage
It loses its bubbles fast once opened and there is no getting them back. Reseal with a stopper, keep it refrigerated and use it within a day or two.
