Sparkling Limoncello-Raspberry Cocktail

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. grated lemon zest
  • A few drops of fresh lemon juice
  • 3 raspberries
  • 2 Tbs. limoncello
  • Crushed ice as needed
  • 1/2 cup sparkling wine
  • Lemon zest strip for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

On a small plate, stir together the sugar and grated lemon zest. Dip a clean finger in the lemon juice and moisten the rim of a Champagne flute or other glass. Dip the rim in the sugar mixture to coat.

In a small bowl or ramekin, using a cocktail muddler or the end of a wooden spoon, pulverize the raspberries with the limoncello. Transfer the puree to the sugar-rimmed glass. Place a spoonful of crushed ice in the glass, then pour in the sparkling wine. Garnish with the lemon zest strip and serve immediately
