A delicious and beautiful Champagne Cocktail made with juice, liqueur and fresh fruit. Mix and match your favorite flavors to create your perfect drink!
Pop open some champagne – this easy and elegant Champagne Cocktail is a drink you won’t be able to resist. This fruity Champagne Cocktail has quickly climbed to the top of my favorite drink list.
Ingredients needed for a champagne cocktail
Champagne/Sparkling Wine: This is the base of the cocktail; use whatever brand you like. Since we’re adding stuff to it, don’t feel the need to spend a ton of money; a moderately priced sparkling wine should be just fine. Tip: You can even use sparkling apple cider for a non-alcoholic cocktail.
Juice: Pomegranate or cherry juice are my favorite juices for this version. I love their color and their flavor.
St. Germain or Raspberry Liqueur: St. Germain is floral and raspberry liqueur is fruity; choose whichever you prefer (or any other liqueur of your choice). Tip: Buy small bottles of flavored liqueur so that you can try different combinations.
Fresh Fruit: This makes the cocktail look extra pretty. Garnish with raspberries, cherries, cranberries, or pomegranate seeds. And don’t forget to nibble on that boozy fruit!
Fruit Sorbet: If you want to make these cocktails extra fun and fancy, you can add a scoop of fruit sorbet right into each glass.
Recipe tips
You can make this cocktail in a pitcher (drinks for a crowd!) or you can let each person assemble their own cocktail by setting out all the components alongside your champagne flutes. When I make this in a pitcher, I like to add some fresh fruit right into the pitcher (kind of like sangria).
Use my recipe as a base and switch around the juice, liqueur and fruit garnishes to make your favorite version.
Add a scoop of raspberry sorbet and fresh raspberries to make it more indulgent.

Wow! This looks amazing! I love mimosas, but this looks like it would put them to shame with the fresh fruit and sorbet! I would be able to drink all 6 servings! LOVE the GOLD straws!
