Notes
Ingredient Notes/Substitutions:
- Feel free to experiment with other flavors of sorbet in this recipe. Lemon, mango, or strawberry would all be great choices.
- For a slightly different flavor profile, you can substitute the Chambord with another berry liqueur, like creme de cassis. You can also omit it, especially if you're making this cocktail with a different sorbet flavor that might not pair as well.
- Champagne can be substituted with prosecco, cava, or any similar, fairly dry sparkling wine. Try sparkling rosé for some extra pink color!
- To make this cocktail non-alcoholic, omit the Chambord and use alcohol-removed sparkling wine.
