What’s in this Blackberry co*cktail?
This blackberry champagne drink is sparkling, delicious, and beautiful! I love making these for parties and special occasions, and they look amazing. It’s so easy to make something that looks party-perfect!
- Blackberries: I prefer using fresh berries, but you can use frozen if needed. Just thaw them out before making the syrup.
- Sugar and Water: These ingredients are used to make the simple syrup.
- Champagne: I went with a classic Champagne, but any sparkling wine will do.
- Rosemary: Adds visual interest and a balancing herbal flavor.
Pro Tip: Using frozen berries for the garnish step would add a refreshing twist and help keep the drinks cool if you’re serving them outside.
Variations on a Blackberry Mimosa
You could change up the co*cktail a bit with a flavored champagne (like strawberry), or try a sparkling rosé. Different berries, like raspberries or strawberries, would be delicious. And you can mix up the herb to change the flavor even more. Mint and basil are my personal favorites.

What mixes well with champagne?
If you ask me, pretty much anything! Here, I opted for blackberries for their tart and sweet flavor.
Is prosecco the same thing as champagne?
Not really. Technically speaking, champagne is a type of sparkling wine that can only come from the Champagne region of France. Prosecco is sparkling wine that is made in Italy. They are similar, but prosecco tends to be sweeter than champagne.
Can I make this co*cktail ahead of time?
While I don’t recommend making the entire co*cktail ahead of time, you can make the blackberry simple syrup up to 1 week in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.
Serving Suggestions
These blackberry co*cktails are perfect for toasting, dessert drinks, or party celebrations. So I love serving them along with a few finger foods rather than meals. I love them with Creamy Artichoke Bruschetta, Bacon-wrapped Dates, Whipped Goat Cheese Crostini, and .
This makes a beautiful holiday co*cktail too, so keep it in mind for your next Christmas party or NYE celebration.

Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 750 mL champagne (1 bottle)
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil on high heat, and then reduce to a simmer and let cook for approximately 15-17 minutes. The blackberries will become soft and bright in color and a pinkish purple syrup will form. Making sure it cooks down enough is essential to keeping the ombre effect.
1 cup fresh blackberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup water
Take off of the heat and drain the blackberries, keeping the syrup in a separate bowl. Set both aside and allow to cool.
Once blackberries and simple syrup are cooled, spoon about 4 tablespoons of syrup into the bottom of each champagne flute.
Top with champagne.
750 mL champagne
Garnish with fresh blackberries or the cooked blackberries, and a sprig of rosemary.
4 sprigs fresh rosemary

Becky’s tips
- Don’t pour the champagne too fast, or you’ll risk ruining the ombre effect.
- Using frozen berries for the garnish step would add a refreshing twist and help keep the drinks cool if you’re serving them outside.
- The blackberry syrup can be made up to 1 week in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Wow que c’est beau! Après le 3e essai j’ai réussi à ce que le sirop ne se mélange pas au vin. On doit verser le vin, puis le sirop qui ira vers le fond. Effet assuré. Merci beaucoup 🥂

I have made these in the past and they were a huge hit. Please can you advise if a non-alcohol version can be made and what would be used instead of the Champagne

You can use a non-alcoholic champagne, sparkling white grape juice, or sparkling apple cider!

My rosemary floats up the glass when I make this. Any tips for keeping it weighed down? Thanks!

It can happen! Even adding a berry to the bottom in hopes to weigh it down!

Grenadine is what I used instead of blackberry syrup. Just change the name of the drink! The rosemary makes it tough to drink without it going in your eye or up your nose. Trim it short.

These were a hit!! My guests just raved over them! I didn’t get the ombré effect, but I think because I poured too quickly or maybe didn’t let the syrup settle. But they were delish!!

Hello. I’m wanting to make these for New Year’s Eve but I would like to know what the gold around the rim of glass is. I feel the gold completes the look . Any suggestions ? I’m assuming some kind of sugar mixture ?

How do I thicken my blackberry simple syrup? It seems a bit too runny.

I’m doing simple syrup and gold sparkling sugar (Betty Crocker or Wilson at Walmart, Target or Michael’s).
