Raspberry Bellini is the perfect celebration drink! This festive champagne cocktail looks sophisticated and tastes of berries and bubbles. The perfect Valentines or Christmas Cocktail.
Bubbles make every event a special occasion, and nothing is more festive than a champagne cocktail. This cocktail is made using homemade raspberry syrup. The syrup can be made weeks ahead of time so there is no need to get tied up in the kitchen making elaborate cocktails.
I've modeled this cocktail on the classic Bellini but added a festive twist. The raspberry Bellini would be perfect for either Christmas or Valentine's day.
Stovetop Raspberry Syrup Method
The raspberry syrup recipe can be made in the Thermomix or on the stovetop.
To make the syrup in a saucepan;
- Heat the raspberries, sugar, and water over low heat.
- Once the sugar has dissolved increase the heat to a slow boil for 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the stove and blend the mixture.
- Push the sauce through a strainer to remove the seeds
- Pour into a jar and refrigerate until required.

Serving Suggestions
Raspberry Bellini
- Add one tablespoon of raspberry syrup to a champagne flute.
- Top the glass with a brut sparkling wine or prosecco.
- Garnish and serve
Another fabulous cocktail is the ever popular Espresso Martini. I particularly like the story about how it was invented. If you're curious head over to the page for a quick read.
If you would like to make a mocktail with raspberry syrup you can try my version of a Shirley Temple. This drink is usually made using a horribly artificial red concentrate cordial. Using homemade raspberry syrup makes this version a lot better for you.
Shirley Temple Mocktail
- Place ⅓ cup of ice in a highball glass.
- Add one tablespoon of raspberry syrup to the ice
- Top the glass with lemonade.
If you are looking for more non-alcoholic drinks why not try one of my smoothies? I have a Berry Beetroot Smoothie and a Turmeric & Mango Smoothie that are delicious alternatives to a cocktail.
