Sparkling Bouquet
About
The Sparkling Bouquet cocktail is bright, floral, and built to feel celebratory without being loud. Think French 75 energy, softened and warmed with strawberry instead of sharp citrus. Sipsmith London Dry Gin provides a crisp botanical base, while strawberry syrup adds gentle fruit sweetness that feels more like fresh petals than jam. A small touch of simple syrup smooths the edges before prosecco lifts everything into a light, airy finish.
Served in a coupe and topped with bubbles, Sparkling Bouquet feels elegant and intentional. It’s not heavy, not boozy, and not overly sweet. This is a cocktail for toasts, first pours, and moments that deserve something pretty in the glass without demanding too much attention.
Shaken or Stirred? Shaken lightly, then topped. Shaking chills and blends the base before prosecco adds lift.
