Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 fresh raspberries
- 4 oz (120 ml) brut champagne or sparkling wine
- 1/4 tsp food-grade rose water
- 1/2 oz (15 ml) simple syrup
- 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Optional garnish: fresh mint sprig or whole raspberry on a cocktail pick
Instructions
- Chill your champagne flute or glass by filling it with ice and cold water; let sit about 5 minutes.
- Place 6 fresh raspberries in a mixing glass and gently muddle until juice is released but berries are not pulverized (about 30 seconds).
- Add 1/2 oz simple syrup, 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp rose water to the muddled raspberries; stir gently for about 10 seconds.
- Discard ice from the chilled glass and dry lightly if needed.
- Strain the raspberry mixture into the glass using a fine mesh strainer to remove pulp (optional).
- Slowly pour 4 oz chilled brut champagne or sparkling wine into the glass to preserve bubbles.
- Garnish with a fresh raspberry or mint sprig if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Start with less rose water and adjust to taste to avoid overpowering the drink. Press raspberries gently to avoid bitterness from seeds. Chill glass and champagne well to preserve bubbles. Prepare raspberry mixture up to 4 hours ahead but add champagne just before serving. For variations, swap berries or use elderflower liqueur if rose water is unavailable.
