Champagne & Sparkling Wine

Garnishes & Accents

Method

Preparation

1

Chill everything

Place all sparkling wines and juices in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Chill flutes in the fridge or freezer (no more than 10 minutes) so the flight stays cold longer.

2

Prepare garnishes

Cut 3 thin orange wheels for garnish. Rinse raspberries and mint, pat dry. If using edible flowers, keep them refrigerated until serving.

Build the Flight

3

Glass 1 — Classic Orange Mimosa

Place one chilled champagne flute on a flat surface. Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) chilled fresh orange juice into the flute. Top slowly with 1/4 cup (60 ml) Brut Champagne (or sparkling wine) poured gently down the side to preserve bubbles. Do not stir. Garnish with an orange wheel on the rim or floated slice.

4

Glass 2 — Blood Orange Prosecco

In the second chilled flute, add 1/4 cup (60 ml) chilled blood orange juice. Top with 1/4 cup (60 ml) Prosecco poured slowly. The deeper color creates a striking contrast. Float a raspberry or two on top and add a small mint sprig if desired.

5

Glass 3 — Passion Fruit Sparkling Rosé

Add 3 tablespoons (45 ml) passion fruit puree to the bottom of the third flute. Gently spoon in 1/4 cup (60 ml) sparkling rosé or Cava over the back of a spoon so the puree stays somewhat separated and creates a layered effect. If the puree is very thick, thin with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chilled water and stir lightly before adding. Drop two raspberries into the flute and garnish with an edible flower if available.

Serving

6

Arrange the three flutes on a small serving board or tray from lightest to most fruit-forward (Brut Orange → Blood Orange Prosecco → Passion Fruit Rosé). Provide a small tasting note card describing each glass: 'Classic Orange', 'Blood Orange', 'Passion Fruit'. Serve immediately while bubbly.

Optional: Offer extra chilled juice and sparkling in small pitchers so guests can top up or re-balance sweetness to taste.
