Hi! I made you a pink drink! A pink sparkly drink! A raspberry champagne cocktail to be exact.

This drink couldn’t be more my favorite thing ever.

It’s pink! It’s sparkly!

It’s pretty much the inside of my head and I love it so much.

They are just so pretty and so full of raspberry flavor from Raspberry Simple Syrup for Drinks and raspberry liqueur.

Cocktails should be pretty since they are often a special occasion thing.

And what’s pretty in my mind?

Sparkles and pink obviously.

And unlike some of my other pink drinks, this one feels very Valentine’s Day to me because raspberry goes so perfectly with all the yummy chocolatey desserts like this no bake chocolate cheesecake with Oreo crust.

Ingredients and Kitchen Supplies

Ingredients for raspberry champagne cocktails: raspberries, sugar, water, raspberry liqueur, and sparkling white wine
Ingredients for raspberry champagne cocktails: raspberries, sugar, water, raspberry liqueur, and sparkling white wine
  • Raspberry simple syrupThis basically amounts to a combination of sugar, water, and raspberries.
  • Raspberry liqueur or vodka– You can use either a raspberry liqueur like Chambord or a raspberry flavored vodka.
  • Sparkling wine– Yes, technically it’s sparkling wine and not champagne on a technicality that champagne comes from a specific region in France. But you can use any white sparkling wine you like from Prosecco to Brut but I do recommend using a drier variety.
  • Garnish– I like to rim the glasses with sugar and pop a few extra raspberries in.

Kitchen supplies for this are pretty minimal though a jigger is helpful to measure the liqueur and I love these stemless champagne glasses.

To make the simple syrup you’ll also need:

FAQs

What mixes well with champagne?

Juices, simple syrups, and even fizzy sodas!

What kind of wine should I use?

Any sparkling white wine you’d like to drink. Do keep in mind that you will be adding raspberry simple syrup to these so the cocktails will be on the sweeter side. Thus a dry sparkling wine works better than a sweeter one like a Moscato.

  • For an extra fancy touch, skewer 4 or 5 raspberries on a toothpick put it on the side of the drink.
