Print Recipe

A refreshing and elegant champagne punch featuring fresh berries and citrus, perfect for brunch or casual gatherings. Simple to make with minimal ingredients and fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) champagne or sparkling wine (brut or extra dry)
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (raspberries, hulled and sliced strawberries, blueberries)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) orange liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec), optional
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) simple syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • Thin lemon slices for garnish
  • Small handful fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Chill the champagne or sparkling wine and orange juice in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  2. Rinse the raspberries, blueberries, and sliced strawberries gently under cold water. Drain well and pat dry. Reserve about a quarter of the berries for garnish.
  3. In a large punch bowl or pitcher, stir together the chilled orange juice, simple syrup, and orange liqueur (if using). Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  4. Add the majority of the berries and a few fresh mint leaves to the mixture. Optionally, gently muddle some berries with a wooden spoon for more flavor, but avoid over-muddling to prevent cloudiness.
  5. Slowly pour the chilled champagne or sparkling wine into the mixture, stirring very gently to combine without flattening the bubbles.
  6. Float lemon slices and the reserved berries on top. Add a few more mint leaves for garnish.
  7. Serve immediately with ice cubes on the side if desired.

Notes

Keep all liquids and the punch bowl chilled to preserve bubbles. Stir gently to avoid flattening champagne. Muddle berries lightly if desired but avoid overdoing it to prevent cloudiness. Freeze some berries to use as natural ice cubes without diluting the punch. Add champagne last just before serving to maintain fizz. Adjust sweetness based on champagne dryness.
