A producer’s citrus variation
Cantina La Costa’s Puccini recipe uses mandarin juice and pulp with cold Prosecco Brut. This is evidence of an Italian cocktail use, not proof that mandarins originated in Italy or that every Puccini uses one fixed ratio.
Try it in the kitchen
Before mixing with cold wine, remove the segment membranes, crush and filter the fruit, then add the wine gently. Keep the distinction between juice and syrup clear when choosing ingredients for your recipe.
