The Best Sugared Prosecco Grapes with Vodka
I cannot stop eating these sugared Prosecco grapes, they are crunchy and boozy and perfectly sweet! I love making them for holidays like Christmas or New Year's, but if you freeze them, they also make a refreshing summer appetizer. And all you need is three ingredients - grapes, Prosecco, and sugar. (Plus vodka if you want them to be a little boozier but it's totally optional!)
Ingredients
- 2 pounds seedless green or red grapes (900 grams)
- 1 bottle of Prosecco (750 milliliters)
- 1/2 cup vodka, optional (120 milliliters)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
Instructions
- Wash the grapes very well and remove them from the stems. Transfer the grapes to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the Prosecco and vodka over the grapes. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours but preferably 24 hours.
- Using a slotted spoon, drain the grapes from the Prosecco mixture. (Save the Prosecco for sangria or cocktails!) Spoon the grapes onto a sheet pan.
- Gently pat the grapes with paper towels until they are damp, but not wet. Evenly sprinkle the sugar over the grapes and gently roll the grapes around until they're well-coated in sugar. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
You don't need a super fancy Prosecco, just pick something drink-able.
I like to add a little vodka to enhance the grape flavor + booziness, but you can totally skip this step. They're good either way.
The longer you soak the grapes, the more flavorful they'll be. I soak them for at least 24 hours, but don't go under 8!
If you want to freeze the grapes, drain them well and transfer them to an airtight container. Freeze for at least 2 hours. Right before serving, roll the grapes in sugar. (They're also amazing frozen without sugar!)
Roll the grapes in sugar right before serving, or the sugar will melt in the fridge.
