This is the ultimate summer snack for grown-ups! Fresh grapes are soaked in Prosecco, cooled in the fridge, and then coated with the vibrant hues of sanding sugar. Offer them in a bowl or thread them onto skewers for a clever presentation. 

Recipe by Michael McMurtrey 

2½ cups green grapes 

2½ cups red grapes 

2½ cups purple grapes 

3 bottles of colored sanding sugar 

1 bottle Prosecco 

Place each color of grapes into a separate sealable bag. Pour 1/3 of the bottle of Prosecco into each bag. Let marinate in the refrigerator overnight, at least 8 hours. 

Drain off the Prosecco from each bag (or save for future cocktails). 

Pour one container of the sanding sugar into a bowl or baking dish. Place one color of grapes over the colored sugar and shake gently to completely cover them in sugar. Repeat for each color. Place grapes in a bowl or on skewers and serve. 

*To create a frozen treat on a hot day, you can freeze the grapes after they’ve been sugared and serve cold.
