Raspberry Bellini – Thermomix Christmas Champagne Cocktail
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 a 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 modelled this cocktail on the classic Bellini but added a festive twist. The raspberry Bellini would be perfect for either Christmas or Valentines day.
Stovetop Raspberry Syrup Method
The raspberry syrup recipe can be made in the Thermomix or on the stove top.
To make the syrup in a saucepan;
- Heat the raspberries, sugar and water over a 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.
