Sparkling wine cocktails are causing a scene with their hubby personalities, radiant colors, and fun seasonal touches. Personally, we at Le Grand Courtage have become moderately obsessed! Below is our tried and true Blackberry French 75 sparkling cocktail for you to make at home. Once you’ve fallen in love with this recipe, let your creative juices (pun intended) start flowing and swap out the blackberries with your favorite seasonal fruits.

Ingredients
½ cup Water
½ cup Sugar
¼ cup Fresh blackberries
1 oz Gin
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
2 oz Le Grand Courtâge Blanc de Blancs Brut
Fresh blackberries and lemon rind for garnish

Instructions: In a small pan, add the water, sugar, and blackberries. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring, and then strain into a heatproof container like a mason jar. Set aside until cool and then chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add 2 tbsp of the blackberry simple syrup, 1 oz gin, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and then shake vigorously. Strain into a cocktail glass and then top with about 2 oz of Blanc de Blancs Brut. Garnish with a lemon rind and fresh blackberry if desired & enjoy your Blackberry French 75.
