A raspberry sorbet champagne float is a pretty pink drink worthy of any celebration! Whether it’s a bridal shower or brunch, your guests will love this refreshing fizzy cocktail.
1pint(16 ounces) raspberry sorbet(2 scoops per glass)
Instructions
Add two small scoops of raspberry sorbet to each glass. Avoid using a very narrow champagne flute. A standard white wine glass or a coupe glass work well.
1 pint (16 ounces) raspberry sorbet
Slowly pour champagne over the sorbet (it will fizz up considerably!).
1 bottle (750 ml) rosé champagne
Garnish with edible flowers or fresh raspberries.
Notes
Yield: One bottle (750 ml) of champagne will fill around 6 glasses. The yield will vary depending on which type of glass you use and how much sorbet you add to each glass.
Serving suggestion: The sorbet doesn't melt too quickly so this is a great cocktail to serve at a garden party. Guests will be able to drink the champagne, then refresh their glasses with additional champagne, without adding more sorbet.
Sorbet: You can use any flavor of sorbet. Sorbet is made with fruit juice and sugar (non-dairy); sherbet and gelato are made with milk or cream. Sorbet usually comes in 14 to 16 ounce containers. Häagen-Dazs is a popular brand in the U.S.
Champagne: I like to use rosé champagne; however, you can use your favorite champagne, prosecco, or sparkling wine.
Flower garnish: Please only use flowers you know are edible and haven't been sprayed with insecticide or fertilizer. I usually use violas, daisies (Bellis perennis), or nasturtiums.
