Suggestions for Ingredient Substitution
For the raspberry-flavored liqueur, cranberry liqueur or pomegranate liqueur can be used as alternatives. These options maintain a fruity flavor profile while offering slightly different taste notes. Adjust the amount to taste, as sweetness levels may vary. Lime juice can be replaced with lemon juice for a similar citrus tang, or orange juice for a sweeter citrus flavor. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe. Prosecco can be substituted with other sparkling wines like Cava or Champagne, or for a non-alcoholic version, use sparkling white grape juice or a citrus-flavored sparkling water. When using non-alcoholic alternatives, you may need to add a touch more sweetener to balance the flavors. These substitutions allow for flexibility in dietary preferences and alcohol content while preserving the festive nature of the cocktail.
