Blushing Sparkler

Blushing Sparkler

Summer 2025

By: Charlene Rooke

This sorbet drink emulates a Clover Club cocktail’s gin and raspberry notes, with a touch of fizz replacing the original drink’s egg-white foam. Any pink or red sorbet (such as vibrant red açaí or rosy strawberry) will work, though. For narrow flutes or glasses, use a melon-baller to create cute mini-scoops. If you’re making two cocktails, a 250-mL can of wine is the ideal size; to make a non-alcoholic drink, leave out the gin and select a de-alcoholized bubbly such as Nozeco Sparkling Rosé Dealcoholized (LCBO 36461).

 

Makes 1 drink

4 oz raspberry sorbet (1 large or 4 to 6 small scoops)
1/2 oz gin
4 oz sparkling rosé
Fresh raspberries for garnish

 

1. Place scoop(s) of sorbet in the bottom of a flute or tall, narrow glass. Drizzle gin over sorbet.

2. Top with sparkling wine and stir gently. Garnish with fresh raspberries.
