Champagne and Roses Cocktail
Treat someone special to this lovely champagne and roses cocktail! It's so simple to make but it feels so fun and fancy. Perfect for Mother's Day or Valentine's.
It's Friday and today I'm sharing a really fun and really simple cocktail recipe!
What more could a girl want than champagne and roses, right? Ok, well maybe chocolate, but we've covered that here, here, and here (just for starters). Today we're talking drinks and this one is sure to make her smile.
It's such an easy recipe I'm almost embarrassed to call it that. Nothing more than a bit of rosewater topped off with champagne or sparkling wine. I added the raspberry because they're just so gorgeous right now...
...and also they get along so well with rose. I use just a dash of rosewater, which is easy enough to find at higher-end grocery stores and Indian markets. If you have any trouble at all, you can always mail order it here.
So, surprise someone special with this unique drink!
I'm thinking it'd be great for Mother's Day!

This is so beautiful, Allie! I love the rosewater in here and the fresh raspberry is such a wonderful touch! Definitely perfect for Mother's Day! 🙂
Thank you so much Kelly! You're such a sweetheart. I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day- you deserve it!
Allie, what a gorgeous drink and such a great idea for Mother's Day! I've always shied away from rosewater because I fear it's too strong (I've been scared by traditional Indian desserts that have way too much rose water in them), but I bet it tastes delicious when just the right amount is added. Plus, who wouldn't love more roses in their life 🙂
You are exactly right Aida! It can be a little overpowering so I always try to use a light hand. Thanks so much for the sweet comment, dear!
Looks so pretty Allie! Need to make it for my mom 🙂
I bet she'd love it, Mira. Thanks so much hon!
This is just so simple and beautiful! I love it!!
Thank you so much Jerrelle! I'm so glad you like it! I thought it was a real treat 😉
This drink is so gorgeous, Allie! I love the raspberry and rose - beautiful and simple flavours that go so perfectly together! 😀
Thank you so much Jess! They're two of the most feminine flavors I think, so I figured they'd work well together!
Is it too early to have this during brunch? It's five o'clock somewhere, right? 🙂
Absolutely! Go for it Linda 😉
I love the combination of raspberry and rose - it's the popsicle flavor combo that we always have in the freezer during the summer. But, oh my. I never thought of a cocktail version - and with champagne!! Genius as usual, Allie. 🙂
Haha I'm so glad to know that you're already familiar with this flavor combo! It's one of my favorites too. Thanks so much Marissa!
Ok, so you know how I was saying I have a bottle of orange blossom water that I had no idea what to make with until I saw your recipe? Well... I also have rose water that I purchased for baklava, but have not used it for anything else. It just so turns out, that I have a bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge. I know what I'll be enjoying tonight 😉 Thanks for this!
Awesome! I love it! Hope you enjoy Kathleen!
This is such a gorgeous cocktail Allie! Sometimes the simplest things are the most beautiful!
I totally agree! So happy you like it Danae- thanks for the sweet comment 🙂
I think any mother would be delighted with this on Mother's Day. I love the rose water, such an elegant drink.
I think so too Janette! In fact, I'm hoping that my hubby will make it for me 😛 Thanks so much sweetie and happy Friday to you!
It definitely will be perfect for Mother's Day!! Just so beautiful and I am sure the hints of floral rosewater is a great match with the champagne.
Thank you so much Zainab! I really loved the flavors together and that raspberry was the perfect finish- such a delightful bite!
Can I just treat myself to this heavenly drink? I think I want 3 in a row in fact!
Haha yes! You deserve it! And it is Friday after all 😉
I love rose anything and yet inexplicably had never thought of buying rosewater myself. Will order some right now, thank you for the link! And for the recipe, of course! :
It's one of those things I don't use often, but I love having it in the cupboard for whenever the urge strikes. It's just so different and it seems to elevate everything it goes into. I'm so happy to have inspired you to buy some! Hope you enjoy! 🙂
I agree, it turns everything into something special. I had saffron rosewater ice cream at a friend's house a while ago (she had bought it at a Persian store) and it was totally amazing. 🙂
Sounds wonderful!
I agree! Such a cute idea for Mother's day celebration! Living in a small town and probably not having access to getting rose water - what does it taste like? I'm dying of curiosity!
Well, it tastes just like rose! If you can imagine that. It's very floral and aromatic, and almost perfume-y. I really love it. I live in a small town too, but I was able to find it in my regular supermarket. They had it in the ethnic foods section, with all the Indian foods. You should definitely give it a try, it's a really fun ingredient!
This WOULD be perfect to serve for Mother's Day! So fun and easy 🙂 I love simple cocktail drinks like this!
Thanks Laura! So do I and this one's really kind of different. So glad you like it! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend 😀
