Ingredients
  

Fruit Base

  • 3 oz fresh raspberries
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar

Spirits & Bubbles

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 0.75 oz Chambord
  • 4 oz Champagne or sparkling wine

Instructions
 

Fruit Base

  • Place raspberries and sugar in a mixing glass and muddle until the sugar dissolves and juices release, about 30 seconds.
    3 oz fresh raspberries

Spirits & Bubbles

  • Add vodka and Chambord to the muddled fruit, fill with ice, and stir gently for 10 seconds.
    1 tsp granulated sugar
  • Strain the mixture into a chilled champagne flute, pressing through a fine mesh to capture all color.
  • Top with chilled Champagne or sparkling wine and garnish with fresh raspberries or a rosemary sprig.
    2 oz vodka

Notes

During my first test, muddling frozen raspberries without thawing led to a watery mix, so I now thaw them for 30 minutes.
On round two, shaking the mixture instead of stirring caused too much foam, so a gentle stir preserves the fizz.
I prepped the raspberry-spirit blend 2 hours ahead and refrigerated; a quick stir before straining brought back its vibrant color.
