Ingredients
- 3 ounce containers fresh raspberries
- 1 cup (227ml) water
- 3/4 cup (149g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (113ml) Raspberry Vodka
- 1 and 1/2 cups (340ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup (227ml) freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
- 1 ml bottle sparkling rose wine or champagne chilled
- grapefruit slices for garnish, optional
- fresh raspberries for garnish, optional
- Mint sprigs for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large glass bowl or measuring cup, and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan combine the raspberries, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the raspberries have fallen apart, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Scrape the mixture into the prepared strainer and, using a rubber spatula, gently press on the solids to help release maximum liquid from the mixture. Discard any remaining solids in the strainer. Set aside and allow the mixture to cool completely before use, about 20 minutes.
- Once the simple syrup is cooled, stir the vodka into the syrup, mixing until well combined. Use as directed below.
- When ready to serve, have 8 champagne flutes ready to go. Pour 3 tablespoons of the simple syrup mixture into the bottom of each flute. Top with 3 Tablespoons of the orange juice and 2 Tablespoons of grapefruit juice, then to the top with the sparkling rose.
- Garnish with mint sprigs, grapefruit slices, and fresh raspberries. Serve at once!

Notes
- In a pinch, an equal weight volume of frozen raspberries may be used to make the simple syrup.
