- Place in refrigerator for up to 2 hours to let the flavors mingle
Step 2: Add The Bubbles
- Right before serving, pour the chilled Prosecco and club soda into the pitcher
- Give everything one very gentle stir, so you don't lose carbonation
Step 3: Serve

Notes
- Never put ice into the pitcher. It will water down your recipe
