This pretty champagne cocktail is my go-to drink for holiday parties or girlie celebrations with its gorgeous pinkish red color. Made with homemade raspberry simple syrup, your favorite champagne or sparkling wine, and garnished with berries, this drink is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

It’s also an easy drink where many steps can be prepared in advance. The simple syrup can be made a few days before the party and I also like to prep the glasses ahead of time with the vodka raspberry mix at the bottom of the champagne flutes.

Then when you’re ready to serve top the glasses with champagne and add fresh berries, mint leaves, and fun paper straws. This way the champagne will stay bubbly and the garnish will stay fresh.

Happy cocktail making!

HOW TO MAKE THIS SPARKLING BERRY CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL

To make this sparkling champagne cocktail you need champagne flutes or other glasses (these pretty no-break stemless flutes are on my wishlist). You also need fresh AND frozen berries to make this drink.

The frozen berries are for the simple syrup, the frozen ones are harvested when they’re perfectly ripe and have more flavor. I make my simple syrup the day before so it can cool down completely in the fridge and I have one step less to do on the day of the party.

To assemble the drinks, mix vodka and raspberry simple syrup together, then distribute it between the glasses and top with champagne. This way the champagne doesn’t get flat and stays fizzy. Make sure that all your ingredients are really cold so that the drinks stay chilled longer and you don’t need to dilute the flavor of the champagne with melted ice cubes.
