Ingredients:
- 125g fresh raspberries
- 100g granulated white sugar
- 2ml food-grade rose water
- 15ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 350ml chilled Brut Prosecco
- 60ml premium gin
- 2 fresh raspberries for garnish
- 2 small sprigs fresh mint
Instructions:
- Place 125g fresh raspberries and 100g sugar into a small mixing bowl.
- Muddle the berries with a fork or muddler until they shatter and release their juices into the sugar.
- Add 15ml fresh lemon juice and 2ml rose water to the berry mixture.
- Stir the mixture for about 60 seconds until the sugar granules have mostly dissolved into the juice.
- Set a fine mesh sieve over a clean jar and pour the mixture in, pressing with the back of a spoon.
- Continue pressing until only dry seeds and a bit of pulp remain in the sieve; discard the seeds.
- Divide 60ml gin between two chilled champagne flutes or coupe glasses.
- Pour half of the raspberry syrup into each glass and stir gently until the liquid turns a velvety crimson.
- Top each glass with 175ml chilled Prosecco, pouring slowly until the bubbles hiss and rise to the top.
- Garnish with a fresh raspberry and a mint sprig before serving.
