This quick prosecco float is ideal for spring celebrations and bright, cheerful brunches. Use a dry brut prosecco or champagne for the best contrast with the sweet sherbet.

Choose a brut (dry) prosecco or champagne — not a sweet variety — for a balanced, refreshing drink.

The soft pastel hues of rainbow sherbet make these floats charming for parties, and the ice cream adds the rich, creamy element that makes the drink feel like a grown-up dessert.

A splash of elderflower liqueur elevates the float with a light floral sweetness. It pairs beautifully with the fruity sherbet flavors and the bright acidity of sparkling wine.

  • A bottle of prosecco – chilled brut prosecco or dry champagne.

  • Rainbow sherbet – a tub with raspberry, orange, and lime or lemon flavors for a bright fruity mix.

How to Make Easy Sherbet Drinks with Champagne or Prosecco

Scoop a portion of rainbow sherbet into a wide cocktail glass such as a coupe or a wine glass.
Drizzle a small amount of elderflower liqueur over the sherbet to add floral sweetness.
Top with chilled prosecco or champagne until the glass is nearly full. Serve immediately while very cold.

A small one-ounce scooper works well for even scoops that fit nicely in a coupe or wine glass. Adjust the amount of sherbet and liqueur to taste — one to two scoops is typically perfect.

These bubbly prosecco floats make an excellent dessert drink or a festive addition to brunch. Garnish with edible flowers or colorful straws for a pretty presentation.
