How to Refrigerate Limoncello Prosecco with Blueberries and Thyme:
The cocktail should be refrigerated in a sealed pitcher or individual glasses to maintain its carbonation and freshness. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before it begins to lose its bubbles.
How to Freeze Limoncello Prosecco with Blueberries and Thyme:
The cocktail is not recommended for freezing, as the carbonation from the prosecco will be lost, and the texture will be affected.
How to Reheat Limoncello Prosecco with Blueberries and Thyme:
The cocktail does not need to be reheated, as it is typically served chilled. However, if it has been stored in the refrigerator and has become too cold, it can be left at room temperature for a few minutes or warmed slightly in a microwave-safe glass to take the chill off. Avoid overheating, as this can cause the carbonation to dissipate.
