SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE PROSECCO VODKA GRAPES RECIPE

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the champagne grapes (the full recipe, nutrition information, and exact measurements are in the printable recipe card below):

• Seedless green grapes – can also use red grapes (approx 1 lb grapes).
• Prosecco – can also use sparkling wine
• Vodka 
• Granulated sugar

HOW TO MAKE THE PROSECCO FLAVOR GRAPES

1. Wash grapes and de-stem them. Then pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Add the grapes to a shallow bowl or Tupperware container. Add the prosecco and vodka, and let sit overnight for up to 24 hours.
3. The next day spread sugar on a plate. Drain grapes and pat down with paper towel again, ensuring they are not completely dry this time.
4. Roll the grapes on the sugar plate until they are fully covered.
5. Add 2-3 grapes to toothpicks and add to the freezer for 2-3 hours, or until they are solid.
6. Enjoy your juicy grapes straight from the freezer or as a grape garnish!

STORING LEFTOVER SWEET LITTLE BOOZY TREATS

1. Initial Freezing:

• After preparing the Prosecco Vodka Grapes, allow them to freeze on a tray in a single layer for at least 2 hours.
• This initial freezing stage prevents the grapes from sticking together, ensuring individual servings.

2. Transfer to Storage:

• Once the grapes are pre-frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container.
• If using a bag, remove excess air before sealing to prevent freezer burn.

3. Label and Date:

• Clearly label the storage container or bag with the date of freezing. Frozen Prosecco Vodka Grapes are best consumed within a few weeks for optimal taste.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

1. Choose Firm, Juicy Grapes: Go for the freshest green grapes you can find. The crunchier, the better!
2. Don’t Skimp on Soaking Time: Let the grapes soak in the Prosecco and vodka overnight or up to 24 hours. The longer they soak, the more boozy goodness they’ll absorb.
3. Pat Grapes Just Right: After soaking, gently pat the grapes dry with a paper towel, leaving them slightly damp. This helps the sugar stick without clumping.
4. Use Fine Granulated Sugar: Regular granulated sugar works best for that sparkly, crunchy coating. Avoid powdered sugar—it won’t give the same effect.
5. Roll One at a Time: For even sugar coverage, roll each grape individually on the sugar plate instead of tossing them all together.
6. Use Skewers for Freezing: Stick 2-3 grapes on toothpicks or cocktail skewers before freezing. It’s not only convenient but also makes them perfect for serving on champagne cocktails.
7. Keep Them Frozen: These grapes are best enjoyed straight from the freezer. If left out for too long, they’ll lose their frosty crunch.
8. Experiment with Flavors: Want to mix it up? Try flavored vodka or add a splash of elderflower liqueur to the soaking mix for an extra twist.
