Description
At its core, the Cava Raspberry Sparkler Recipe is a modern twist on classic sparkling wine cocktails like the Mimosa or the French Seventy-Five. It highlights Spanish Cava, a dry and crisp sparkling wine produced primarily in the Catalonia region of Spain, and pairs it with real fruit elements.
Ingredients
-
120 ml (4 oz) chilled Cava, preferably Brut
-
15 ml (½ oz) raspberry syrup
-
15 ml (½ oz) fresh lemon juice
-
15 ml (½ oz) raspberry purée, optional
-
2–4 fresh raspberries
-
Ice, if desired
-
Lemon twist or fresh mint, for garnish
Instructions
-
Prepare the glass: Use a chilled champagne flute or wine glass.
-
Mix the raspberry base: Stir the raspberry syrup and lemon juice together. Add raspberry purée if you prefer a richer berry flavor.
-
Add the Cava: Slowly pour in the chilled Cava to preserve its bubbles.
-
Garnish: Add fresh raspberries and a lemon twist or mint sprig.
-
Serve immediately: Give it one gentle stir, if needed, and enjoy.
Notes
Taste before adding extra syrup; raspberry purée and syrup can make the drink quite sweet.
