Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) champagne or sparkling wine (Brut preferred)
- 1 cup (125 grams) fresh or frozen raspberries, thawed if frozen
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or agave syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish or muddling (optional)
Instructions
- If using frozen raspberries, let 1 cup (125 g) thaw slightly at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- In a blender, combine raspberries, 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh orange juice, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or agave syrup (if using), and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Optional: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds for a smoother texture.
- Gently stir in 1 cup (240 ml) chilled champagne or sparkling wine. Do not blend after adding champagne to preserve bubbles.
- Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving room at the top for expansion.
- Insert sticks, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid.
- To unmold, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds and gently pull on the sticks.
Notes
Do not blend after adding champagne to keep bubbles intact. Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Soak wooden sticks in water for 10 minutes before inserting to prevent splitting. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling white grape juice or club soda. Popsicles keep well up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
