Easy Raspberry Sherbet Champagne Float
If you’re looking for a fun and festive drink to ring in summer holidays, New Year’s Eve, for perfect Valentine’s Day cocktails, for Mother’s Day brunch, or to serve at a bridal shower, birthday party, anything in between, these raspberry champagne floats are perfect! Bonus that there are only 3 ingredients in this celebration cocktail recipe! I am a big fan of any bubbly liquid, and I’m especially partial to champagne – and bonus points if it’s rosé champagne like this recipe has to create a fun cocktail. As the raspberry sherbet melts into the glass after the champagne is poured over the top, these floats are the perfect balance of bubbly, fruity, and sweet enough but not too sweet. I am not a fan of drinks that read overly sweet and this one isn’t! The raspberry flavors shine nicely.

What Kind of Champagne or Bubbly is Best for Floats?
You have options here! I am presenting them with some fun trivia about each category you may not know. I consider myself an expert on all bubbly beverages 🍾😁 My Recommendation: I personally would make the floats with a budget-friendly rosé champagne OR a rosé prosecco which is inherently going to be budget-friendly in comparison to champagne and since the taste is getting masked by sherbet, go with what works for your budget. Always select dry or brut versions of your liquid of choice so you don’t accidentally create an overly sweet drink.
