    Notes

    For the best flavor, keep the apple cider and prosecco chilled so the spritz stays crisp and not watery. Store leftovers in the fridge only briefly (up to 1 day) as the bubbles fade; for best results, assemble fresh. For a lower-sugar swap, use a lighter prosecco option or reduce the prosecco slightly while keeping the chilled cider proportion.
