Beverages labeled "juice cocktail" and "juice beverage" probably have a very small amount of actual juice in them. They are primarily water, some form of sweetener and artificial colors and flavors. Whenever a recipe calls for juice, look for 100% juice on the label. Is This OK to Drink If I Have Diabetes? This will depend on how your blood glucose levels typically respond to two things: juice and alcohol. While the carbs are low in this recipe, sticking to one serving and pairing it with a light snack that contains protein or fat may help prevent your blood sugars from spiking too much. Tips from the Test Kitchen I Don't Have Prosecco. Can I Use a Different Type of Sparkling Wine? Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine that is made with Prosecco grapes, also called Glera, a white variety of grapes. It has a crisp and fruity flavor and is light to medium-bodied. If you don't have Prosecco, you can use any type of sparkling wine, such as Champagne from France or cava from Spain. What Type of Orange Liqueur Should I Use? Orange liqueur is an orange-flavored sweetened distilled spirit. It's typically flavored with dried orange peels or orange essential oil. Feel free to use any type of orange liqueur, such as triple sec, Grand Marnier or Cointreau. Can I Make This Cocktail Ahead? No, we recommend making it right before serving in order to keep it bubbly and effervescent. Just make sure to chill your bottle of Prosecco and cranberry juice before stirring them in the pitcher. Frequently Asked Questions What Other Juices Can Be Mixed with Prosecco? This cocktail pairs nicely with either pomegranate juice or cherry juice. Ensure that you choose juices labeled as 100% juice, as a review featured in Nutrients in 2022 suggests that 100% juice helps ward off certain chronic conditions by providing essential vitamins and minerals.

Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
