Blackberry Champagne Sparklers are one of the prettiest cocktails out there. These easy Blackberry Cocktails have an ombre effect that makes them a beautiful addition to special occasions.
This blackberry champagne drink is sparkling, delicious, and beautiful! I love making these for parties and special occasions, and they look amazing. It’s so easy to make something that looks party-perfect!
Why You’ll Love This Blackberry Champagne Sparkler
- Romantic Cocktail – These are so beautiful, simple, and classic, making them the perfect cocktail for romantic occasions, like Valentine’s Day and anniversaries.
- Sparkling Champagne – Champagne is the best way to toast special occasions, and adding a twist of blackberry makes it extra special.
- Beautiful Drinks – Between the ombre effect and the sprig of rosemary, this cocktail is just so pretty!
Ingredients List
- Blackberries – I prefer using fresh berries, but you can use frozen if needed. Just thaw them out before making the syrup. Tip: Using frozen berries for the garnish step would add a refreshing twist and help keep the drinks cool if you’re serving them outside.
- Sugar and Water – These ingredients are used to make the simple syrup.
- Champagne – I went with a classic Champagne, but any sparkling wine will do. Tip: You could change up the cocktail a bit with a flavored champagne (like strawberry), or try a sparkling rose.
How to Make Blackberry Champagne Cocktails
- Make the Simple Syrup – Combine water, sugar, and blackberries in a saucepan, bring to a boil, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, then separate syrup from blackberries.
- Make Cocktail – Spoon syrup (after it’s cooled) into the bottom of champagne flutes, then top with champagne.
- Garnish – Finish it off by adding a sprig of rosemary and a couple of blackberries.
It’s such a simple recipe, but looks like a million bucks! Check the recipe card below for the full details instructions!
Pairing Suggestions
These blackberry cocktails are perfect for toasting, dessert drinks, or party celebrations. So I love serving them along with a few finger foods rather than meals. They deserve to be paired with equally-beautiful foods, and pair especially well with cheese. Here’s what I recommend.
- Creamy Artichoke Bruschetta
- Bacon-wrapped Dates
- Whipped Goat Cheese Crostini
- Baked Provolone with Grapes & Walnuts
This makes a beautiful holiday cocktail too, so keep it in mind for your next Christmas party or NYE celebration.
I hope you enjoy celebrating with these beautiful Blackberry Champagne Sparklers! So easy to make and so delicious.

Blackberry Ombre Sparkler
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 bottle champagne
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil on high heat, and then reduce to a simmer and let cook for approximately 15-17 minutes. The blackberries will become soft and bright in color and a pinkish purple syrup will form. Making sure it cooks down enough is essential to keeping the ombre effect. Take off of the heat and drain the blackberries, keeping the syrup in a separate bowl. Set both aside and allow to cool.
- Once blackberries and simple syrup are cooled, spoon about 4 tablespoons of syrup into the bottom of each champagne flute (this recipe makes 4 drinks)
- Top with champagne.
- Garnish with fresh blackberries or the cooked blackberries, and a sprig of rosemary.
- Cheers!

Wow que c’est beau! Après le 3e essai j’ai réussi à ce que le sirop ne se mélange pas au vin. On doit verser le vin, puis le sirop qui ira vers le fond. Effet assuré. Merci beaucoup 🥂
I have made these in the past and they were a huge hit. Please can you advise if a non-alcohol version can be made and what would be used instead of the Champagne
You can use a non-alcoholic champagne, sparkling white grape juice, or sparkling apple cider!
My rosemary floats up the glass when I make this. Any tips for keeping it weighed down? Thanks!
It can happen! Even adding a berry to the bottom in hopes to weigh it down!
Grenadine is what I used instead of blackberry syrup. Just change the name of the drink! The rosemary makes it tough to drink without it going in your eye or up your nose. Trim it short.
These were a hit!! My guests just raved over them! I didn’t get the ombré effect, but I think because I poured too quickly or maybe didn’t let the syrup settle. But they were delish!!
Taste is most important anyway :)!
Hello. I’m wanting to make these for New Year’s Eve but I would like to know what the gold around the rim of glass is. I feel the gold completes the look . Any suggestions ? I’m assuming some kind of sugar mixture ?
did you ever get an answer??
i agree with you
It’s turbinado sugar!
Delicious ♡
Thank you, Anne!! I’m glad you loved it!
Becky I cant wait to make these today!
Let me know what you think of them once you make them!!
How do I thicken my blackberry simple syrup? It seems a bit too runny.
Hi you don’t mention what you put on the rim of the glasses of the champagne blackberry cocktail
I’m doing simple syrup and gold sparkling sugar (Betty Crocker or Wilson at Walmart, Target or Michael’s).
Hi! I’m so excited about this recipe, it’s beautiful! I am making cocktails for an office party, and need to make about 75 individual drinks. Would you recommend that I make the syrup in one batch? If so, how long do you recommend that I boil/simmer it?
Thanks so much.
Awesome! Yes I’d make it in one batch. Just simmer long enough to where it thickens but you dont want a full syrup. It’s hard to say bc I haven’t done that but Id think about 15 minutes.
