Whether you’re celebrating the end of the world next week or you think we’ll still be around for New Year’s Eve, nothing is better for marking important occasions than a cold bottle of bubbly.
Sure, Champagne is nice, but we typically prefer something less expensive. Because less expensive equals larger quantities. But a cheaper bottle of bubbles doesn’t necessarily mean you’re sacrificing quality.
Especially with Ruffino Prosecco, one of our go-to beverages this cheerful time of year. We keep chilled bottles on hand to turn any party into an instant celebration. Or tote one along to every party for a hostess gift that’s sure to please.
The flavors are crisp, clean and filled with luscious apple and peach notes. It’s ideal for enjoying in a tall flute, but we’ve got some wonderful recipes that could just make Prosecco your ingredient of choice for every holiday cocktail.
Plus, with only 11% alcohol by volume compared to vodka’s average of 40%, you can enjoy more cocktails without getting blotto.
Because once again, we’re all about quantity. Not jail.
