❓ New Year’s Eve Rum Berry Cocktail FAQ

What sparkling wine works best?
A dry style (Brut) keeps the drink balanced. For sweeter, use Demi-Sec or add a touch more simple syrup.

Can I batch this?
Yes—blend and chill the still base (rum, raspberry liqueur, lemon, simple syrup, raspberries) up to 24 hours ahead. Pour 2–3 oz base per glass, then top with cold bubbles to serve.

No fresh raspberries?
Use frozen (thawed) berries or 1–2 tsp raspberry jam; double strain to remove seeds/pulp.

Mocktail idea?
Replace rum and liqueur with 2 oz raspberry juice or purée and top with chilled sparkling water or NA bubbly.
