This year I won’t be ringing in the New Year with a flute of champagne because I’m preggers but I have the perfect Sparkling Raspberry Mocktail that I honestly enjoy drinking more than any glass of champagne anyway! Since this is baby number four I am no stranger to sparkling grape juice around the holidays. I should literally take stock in it because I have gone through a dozen bottles the past few weeks. Pair the grape juice with a few other ingredients and you have an elegant non alcoholic drink on your hands!
One part that makes this raspberry mocktail pretty and tasty are the ice cubes. If I don’t make the more than a day in advance I make them in the morning or early afternoon so that by evening they are definitely ready.
Sparkling Raspberry Mocktail
The perfect mocktail for your next party or get together!
- 1 12 ounce frozen raspberry lemonade concentrate
- 3 cup cold water
- 1 cup frozen raspberries (or fresh work too)
- 1 bottle Sparkling Grape Juice
- In a small pitcher mix frozen lemonade concentrate and three cups of water.
- For ice-cubes sprinkle raspberries into an ice cube tray and then slowly pour the raspberry lemonade mix over them. Set the remaining drink mix aside until later.
- When ready to serve add ice cubes to each glass and pour about one tablespoon of the raspberry lemonade in the bottom of each glass.
- Top off the glass with sparkling grape juice and toast!
**(If you are using deep ice cube trays I recommend only filling 1/2 way high so they will fit in champagne flutes).
I wish everyone a very Happy New Year! I picked up my first cast iron skillet and some filet mignons to have a small celebration here at home with my family. As I mentioned the other day the kiddos will be entertained with the tradition of countdown balloons!
