Chambord and Prosecco make an elegant, festive cocktail. The rich black-raspberry flavor of Chambord combined with bubbly Prosecco creates a simple, pretty drink ideal for holidays, date nights, or any celebration.
Chambord and Prosecco Recipe
This two-ingredient cocktail is proof that less is more. A splash of Chambord adds sweet, fruity depth, and a generous top of chilled Prosecco adds effervescence. The drink is light, festive, and ready in minutes.
To prepare, simply place raspberries in a flute, pour in the Chambord, and gently top with Prosecco. No shaking or mixing required—just a graceful pour and serve immediately.
If you enjoy this combination, you might also like other raspberry-forward drinks such as a raspberry lemon drop or a raspberry martini, which highlight similar flavors using Chambord in different ways.
Substitutions
- Different liqueur: If Chambord isn’t available, consider alternatives that keep the berry profile:
- Crème de Cassis for a slightly tarter blackcurrant note.
- Raspberry simple syrup to make a non-alcoholic version with a similar raspberry flavor.
- Crème de Mure for a deeper blackberry character.
- Different bubbly: Prosecco is a light, fruity choice, but other carbonated options work well:
- Champagne if you prefer a French sparkling wine.
- Cava for a Spanish sparkling wine that can be more budget-friendly.
- Sparkling water combined with raspberry syrup for an alcohol-free fizzy option.
Variations
- Add citrus:
- Lemon spritz for brightness.
- Orange slice for a sweet citrus accent.
- Lime juice for a tangy contrast to the liqueur’s sweetness.
- Make it sweeter:
- Simple syrup to adjust sweetness to taste.
- Honey for a natural, slightly floral sweetness.
- Agave nectar as a vegan-friendly sweetener.
- Add spice or warmth:
- Ginger syrup for a spicy kick.
- Cinnamon stick as a warm, aromatic garnish.
Equipment
This cocktail requires minimal equipment. A few simple tools will make preparation easy and attractive.
- Jigger or measuring tool: To measure Chambord. A measuring cup or kitchen scale set to fluid ounces also works.
- Champagne flute: A fluted glass highlights the bubbles and makes for a better presentation, though other stemware will do.
Storage
This cocktail is best served immediately after assembly. Prepare it just before serving to preserve the bubbles and freshness.
Tips
- Chill both ingredients: Keep the Chambord and Prosecco chilled so the drink stays cold and bubbly.
- Pour gently: Add Prosecco slowly to preserve carbonation.
- Choose the right glass: A flute showcases the bubbles and keeps the drink effervescent longer.
