Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine raspberry sherbet, chilled rosé wine, and frozen lemonade concentrate in a punch bowl.
- Stir until well blended.
- Pour in well chilled champagne or sparkling rosé.
- Serve immediately, garnished with berries or mint if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, let the raspberry sherbet soften slightly before mixing. If you want to reduce sweetness, adjust the sugar based on your preference, especially since the frozen lemonade concentrate is already sweet. Consider using a dry rosé to balance the flavors. For a fun twist, try adding a splash of flavored vodka or using a different fruit sherbet, such as lemon or peach.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cooler in chilled glasses to keep it refreshing. Garnish with fresh raspberries or mint leaves for an attractive presentation. It pairs beautifully with light appetizers like a cheese platter or fresh fruit. For a festive touch, consider serving alongside desserts like Cherry Pink Sponge for a delightful contrast.
Storage & Reheating
This Raspberry-Ros Cooler is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The carbonation from the champagne will diminish over time, so it's best to consume it soon after preparation. Avoid freezing, as it will alter the texture of the ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this drink non-alcoholic?
Yes, you can easily adjust this recipe to be non-alcoholic. Substitute the rosé wine and champagne with sparkling water or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine. For added flavor, incorporate a splash of fruit juice, such as cranberry or pomegranate, along with the frozen lemonade concentrate.
How can I adjust the sweetness of the cooler?
To modify the sweetness, taste the mixture after blending the sherbet, rosé wine, and lemonade concentrate. If it's too sweet, add a splash of soda water or lemon juice for acidity, which will balance out the flavors. You can also reduce the amount of sugar added based on your preference.
Is it possible to prepare this drink in advance?
While you can combine the sherbet, wine, and lemonade concentrate ahead of time, it's best to add the champagne or sparkling rosé right before serving to maintain its fizz. Prepare everything else in advance and just pour in the champagne when you're ready to enjoy!
