Chef’s Insight

The combination of champagne and fruit not only makes for a delightful palate, but also brings out the sweetness of the fruits while adding a touch of effervescence.

Notes

Fresh berries are best, but frozen will work if they're good quality. The champagne can be substituted with sparkling apple juice for a non-alcoholic option.

Cultural or Historical Background

This recipe draws inspiration from the Mediterranean coastline with its vibrant fruits and a hint of French elegance from the champagne and rosewater.
