Pink Champagne Floats are the perfect Valentine’s Day cocktails and dessert all in one! This fun treat is the same as a regular float, but it’s made with pink champagne and raspberry sorbet for something classy and festive. Talk about a romantic dessert idea!
Pink Champagne Floats
These beautiful champagne floats are made with pink champagne and raspberry sorbet for a super PINK and romantic treat.
I’ve never been much of a girly girl. I’m not all about pink things or one for frills and hearts. But I am definitely a champagne girl, and definitely someone that absolutely loves Valentine’s Day . So I’ll compromise and bring in a little more pink specifically for the holiday that celebrates LOVE. February 14th is definitely a day for pink things, bubbly things, and all things girly, and this recipe is all of the above.
Raspberry Pink Champagne Floats are the perfect sweet treat to make for your sweetie (or for yourself, you don’t need a man to enjoy the finer things in life). I put a spin on classic ice cream floats by using raspberry sorbet and pink champagne to create a super romantic dessert for Valentine’s Day . It’s a cocktail and a dessert all in one. What could be better?
This Valentine’s Day cocktail is very pink, very bubbly, and very delicious. And it’s just as fun for bridal showers, anniversaries, or any girl’s day occasion. It feels like the classiest cocktail you’ll ever have!
These Raspberry Sorbet Pink Champagne Floats just scream Valentine’s Day. So pink, so romantic, and so cute!
Raspberry Sorbet Mimosa
I think Champagne Floats is the best way to describe this cocktail, but you could also consider them as something like a Raspberry Sorbet Mimosa. I made Sherbet Mimosas in the past, and I was hooked. Those are the perfect brunch cocktail, and they definitely helped inspire this recipe.
I love how the raspberry sorbet melts into the pink champagne and creates a sweet mix of fruity and bubbly. It’s refreshing, fabulous, and EASY! Such a fun way to impress your guests or a loved one.
How to Make Raspberry Pink Champagne Floats
One of my favorite things about drink recipes is how simple they are. Just a few steps (that are mostly just pouring and mixing), and you’ve got a super fun treat to serve. These pink champagne floats are no different. Just scoop, pour, and drink!
How to Make Raspberry Champagne Floats:
- Place 1 or 2 scoops of raspberry sorbet in each glass.
- Pour pink champagne directly over the sorbet (fill up those glasses).
- Finish them off with some fresh raspberries and serve!
You can dig right in with a spoon, or you an let the sorbet melt as you sip on the champagne. I like to do a bit of both. Can’t let any of it go to waste!
If you want to turn this into a non-alcoholic treat, there are plenty of alcohol-free champagnes and sparkling juices and ciders to choose from. That way you can serve these pink drinks to everyone who wants one. I think these would just be ADORABLE at a girl’s birthday party.
Valentine’s Day Cocktails
I love these raspberry champagne floats for Valentine’s Day, but also for so many other occasions. They’re great for New Years Eve, girl’s baby showers, birthday parties, or wedding showers. You can use a clear champagne and use any color sorbet that fits the color of the day! Fun, right? So teyt don’t have to be Valentine’s Day cocktails…but they are perfect for it!
Here are some other fun Valentine’s Cocktails to try out too:
- Sherbet Mimosas
- Triple Berry Martini
- Pink Champagne Sangria
- Sparkling Strawberry Margarita Punch

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
