The raspberry sparkler

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

The raspberry sparkler is the ultimate berry-licious cocktail to put the shine into your festive season, says Jeanne Calitz.

Ingredients

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

Cooking Instructions

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?
