Tips and Troubleshooting

• Adjusting Sweetness: If you find your purée is too tart, feel free to add more sugar or sweetener until it reaches your desired level of sweetness. Taste as you go!
• Bubbles Overflowing: When adding the prosecco, pour slowly to minimize the bubbles. If it overflows, you can simply pour a little less prosecco or let the foam settle before topping off.
• Frozen Fruit: If using frozen raspberries, add a bit more lemon juice as frozen fruit tends to be less sweet than fresh.
