Pop the cork and celebrate with a delightful burst of fresh berry flavor. This raspberry champagne cocktail is a fun, fizzy way to elevate any occasion—perfect for anniversaries, brunches, or just a relaxing evening at home. Smooth on the palate and stunning in color, it promises a memorable sip every time.
Ingredients
- 6 fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
- 1 tablespoon raspberry liqueur (optional, but adds extra sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 4 ounces chilled champagne or sparkling wine
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Start by lightly mashing the raspberries with the raspberry liqueur (if using), lemon juice, and honey (or simple syrup). The goal is to release the juices without fully blending the fruit, so lightly press with the back of a spoon until they’re slightly broken and fragrant.
Next, fill a flute or favorite tall glass with the mashed raspberry mixture. Slowly top it off with chilled champagne or sparkling wine to prevent spills and maintain those elegant bubbles. Give it a gentle stir, then drop in a few extra whole raspberries and a mint leaf or two for a fresh, eye-catching garnish.
Go ahead and take that first sip—there’s nothing quite like the vibrant taste of raspberries paired with the crisp effervescence of champagne!
This cocktail is a treat for anyone looking for a light, fruity sip that’s not too sweet. If you want a lower-sugar version, swap out the honey for a sugar-free sweetener or skip it altogether—fresh raspberries are pretty sweet on their own. It’s also easy to customize with other berries or fruits to change up the flavor profile. Whether you’re hosting friends, celebrating a special moment, or simply rewarding yourself after a long day, this bubbly blend delivers a touch of glamour in every glass.
