The Raspberry Spritz is a refreshing and fruity cocktail that combines the tartness of raspberries with the effervescence of sparkling wine or prosecco. Hereβs a simple recipe to make a Raspberry Spritz:
Ingredients:
4-6 fresh raspberries
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
2 oz (60ml) raspberry liqueur (such as Chambord)
4-6 oz (120-180ml) chilled sparkling wine or prosecco
Ice cubes
Fresh mint leaves or raspberries, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, muddle the fresh raspberries with sugar (if using). This helps release the juices and flavor from the raspberries.
Add the raspberry liqueur to the shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
Shake the ingredients gently to mix and chill them.
Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice cubes.
Top off the glass with chilled sparkling wine or prosecco.
Stir gently to combine.
Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves or raspberries for an extra touch of freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Raspberry Spritz!
This cocktail is perfect for warm weather or any festive occasion. Its vibrant color and fruity flavor make it a delightful choice for brunches, parties, or simply enjoying a relaxing evening. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to suit your taste preferences. Cheers!
