Champagne Float Combinations
These champagne floats combine raspberry sherbet and dry sparkling wine. Give a few different combinations a try.
- Use sorbet for a different taste and texture. This comes in an endless variety of unique flavors like coconut, pomegranate and melon.
- Try lemon sherbet with a sweet sparking wine. The tang of the lemon pairs nicely with a sweet wine.
- Use a dry sparkling wine poured over a sweet tangerine or orange sherbet. The key is coming dry and sweet flavors to create a perfectly balanced drink.
Serving Tips: Serve these floats in stemmed cocktail glasses. Make a tray and serve to your guests at a bridal shower or birthday party. Or create a float station and let guests choose their own sherbet and sparkling wine combination.

Excellent! To make it for the kids, use ginger ale. My fave is pineapple sherbet. Pistachio ice cream works well too. If you want to go full Italian use gelato and Prosecco.
