Instructions

Prepare the Sugar Rim:
- Place a small amount of sugar in a shallow dish.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of Chambord raspberry liquor into another shallow dish.
-
Rim the Glass:
- Dip the rim of a flute glass (or any tall, thin glass) into the Chambord, ensuring it’s well coated.
- Immediately dip the rim into the sugar, turning it to coat evenly.
- Set the glass aside to allow the rim to dry completely.
-
Add Raspberries:
- Place 2-3 fresh raspberries in the bottom of the prepared glass.
-
Pour Chambord:
- Add 2 tablespoons of Chambord raspberry liquor over the raspberries.
-
Top with Champagne:
- Carefully fill the rest of the glass with chilled champagne, pouring slowly to maintain the sugar rim and prevent excessive bubbling.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Optionally, garnish with a split vanilla bean for an extra touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes
- This beverage is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to maintain the effervescence of the champagne.
- For an extra twist, you can lightly muddle the raspberries in the glass before adding the Chambord, releasing more of their natural flavor and juice.
Tips
- Ensure your champagne is well chilled before making the drink.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace the Chambord and champagne with raspberry juice and sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine.
Enjoy your Raspberry Champagne and make every moment a little more special with Love With Recipes! Cheers! 🥂
