BLACKBERRY CHAMPAGNE FIZZ

A brunch is never complete without a meticulously made cocktail, and the Blackberry Champagne Fizz is one such drink. Just imagine: an early morning basked in sunlight, your favorite breakfast laid out before you, and in your hand a champagne flute full of sparkling wine with all its delicious mix of flavors.

While crushed blackberries provide the sweetness needed, angostura dash adds some bitterness to make this drink even more refreshing. A little bit of triple sec also adds that zing you would want from this classy cocktail.

To make it different, one can choose to use other berries such as raspberries or huckleberries for instance. As sugar cubes dissolve into the drink, they create a cascade of bubbles making it visually appealing as well as mouth-watering. Change it up by replacing blackberries with a mixed berry blend consisting of your favorite fruits if you are feeling adventurous at the time. This cocktail doesn’t just quench thirst; it brings elegance to any brunch gathering.
