If you love easy yet elegant cocktails, this raspberry champagne is a must-try!

What is Raspberry Champagne

This cocktail is also referred to as Raspberry Royale. A Raspberry Royale is a simple Champagne cocktail made with Chambord (a black raspberry liqueur from France) and topped with fresh raspberries. It's similar to a Kir Royale, which uses Crème de Cassis. You may be familiar with the Kir Royale if you're a fan of the Netflix series, Emily in Paris.

Tips for the Best Raspberry Royale

Chill Your Glasses: A chilled flute keeps the cocktail crisp.

Use Frozen Raspberries: They act as natural ice cubes without diluting your drink.

Try Different Sparkling Wines: Swap Champagne for Prosecco (lighter) or Cava (earthier) for different flavors.

Make it Non-Alcoholic: Use sparkling white grape juice or club soda with a splash of raspberry simple syrup.

Serve it: Serving your cocktail in unique glassware can add to the fun of the drink. I love these whimsical glasses. These are fun too.

What to Serve with a Raspberry Royale

This cocktail pairs beautifully with:

• Brunch favorites: Smoked salmon bagels, quiches, and fruit tarts.
• Valentine’s treats: Chocolate-dipped strawberries, macarons, or shortbread cookies.
• Savory appetizers: Brie and crostini, charcuterie boards, or prosciutto-wrapped melon.
