Brunch is the perfect occasion to serve a Champagne cocktail. Here, the bitterness of triple sec and Angostura bitters pair well with the sweetness of blackberries and sugar cubes. Other berries, such a boysenberries, raspberries or huckleberries, can be substituted.

 

Ingredients

  • 4 blackberries, quartered
  • 1/4 cup triple sec
  • 4 sugar cubes
  • Angostura bitters as needed
  • 1 bottle (750ml) Champagne, Prosecco or other dry sparkling white wine, chilled

Preparation

  • 1
    In a small nonreactive bowl, combine the blackberries and triple sec and let stand for about 15 minutes to let the fruit macerate.
  • 2
    Place 1 sugar cube in each of 4 Champagne flutes and add 1 or 2 dashes of bitters to each one. Spoon 4 pieces of marinated blackberry in each flute. Top with Champagne and serve immediately.
