Ingredients
- 1 bottle champagne
- 1/2 cup raspberry liqueur
- Fresh raspberries for garnish
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Chill the champagne thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before preparing the cocktails to ensure optimal serving temperature.

- Remove the chilled glasses from the freezer and carefully pour 2 tablespoons of raspberry liqueur into the bottom of each glass.
- Slowly pour the chilled champagne over the raspberry liqueur, tilting the glass at an angle to create a beautiful layered effect and minimize excessive foam.
- Gently garnish each cocktail with 3-4 fresh raspberries, dropping them delicately into the drink.
- Add a small sprig of fresh mint leaves to the rim of each glass for an elegant and aromatic finishing touch.
- Serve immediately while the champagne is still cold and the bubbles are vibrant, preferably within 5-10 minutes of preparation.
- Optional: For an extra touch of elegance, you can rim the glasses with fine sugar before adding the liqueur and champagne.
Tips
- • Champagne Temperature is Key: Always chill your champagne thoroughly for the best taste and most refreshing experience. • Glassware Matters: Frosted glasses create an impressive visual and keep your cocktail colder longer. • Pouring Technique: Tilt the glass when adding champagne to create a beautiful layered effect and minimize excessive foam. • Garnish with Precision: Fresh raspberries and mint leaves aren't just decoration - they add flavor and visual appeal. • Timing is Everything: Serve immediately to enjoy the drink at its most vibrant and bubbly state. • Optional Elegance Hack: Try rimming the glass with fine sugar for an extra touch of sophistication. • Experiment with Champagne Varieties: Different champagnes can subtly change the cocktail's flavor profile.
