Description
This Raspberry Mimosa combines freshly-made raspberry juice and sparkling wine to create a pink, fruity, and refreshing cocktail that's perfect for brunch, holidays, or summertime sipping.
Ingredients
- 16 raspberries, plus more for garnish (about half a cup or ~120 grams)
- 1/2 ounce of Chambord (raspberry liqueur - optional)
- 1/4 ounce simple syrup
- 4 ounces sparkling wine*
Instructions
- Add raspberries to a fine mesh sieve and place over a bowl. Use a cocktail muddler or a wooden spoon to muddle the raspberries, pressing the juice through the sieve into the bowl. It may take several passes with a spatula or spoon to press out all of the juice. Scrape the bottom of the sieve to get any extra juices.
- Pour raspberry juice, simple syrup, Chambord, and sparkling wine into a champagne glass and give it a gentle stir. Garnish with fresh raspberry (optional) and enjoy!
Notes
*Wine: We used Prosecco Rosé, but you can use whatever sparkling wine you prefer, including Champagne or Cava.
Muddling the raspberries: If you don't have a muddler, use a spoon to mash the raspberries. Alternatively, you can blend the raspberries in a blender, then strain through the sieve to separate the juice and seeds.
To get the most juice possible out of the raspberries, alternate pushing the pulp through the sieve with scraping off the bottom so that more liquid can pass through.
Make ahead: Make the raspberry juice ahead of time and mix with the simple syrup and chambord. When ready to serve, pour that mixture into your glass and simply top off with sparkling wine!
Everything tastes best chilled: For the most refreshing cocktail, chill all of the components for several hours before assembling. You can also chill the cocktail glasses before serving.
