Ingredients

Method
    For the raspberry syrup:

  • 100 g sugar
  • ½ cup boiling water
  • a handful fresh raspberries
  • edible gold glitter, to serve
  • rosé or brut Cap Classique, to serve

1. To make the raspberry syrup dissolve the sugar in ½ cupboiling water. Add a handful of fresh raspberries, allow to steep, then strain.

2. Drop a knifepoint of Woolies’ edible gold glitter into a glass. Top with rosé or brut Cap Classique, then add a splash of raspberry syrup. Stir, and marvel at the pretty lights.

Cook's note: You can replace the syrup with Woolworths’ elderflower cordial, it’s just as delicious. But the raspberry syrup keeps for up to 5 days in the fridge and adds a lovely tang to cocktails and festive drinks. Pink lemonade, anyone?
