A quick and refreshing sorbet float combining floral elderflower syrup, mixed berry sorbet, fresh berries, and crisp champagne, perfect for intimate occasions or a cozy night in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Champagne or Sparkling Wine per float (brut or demi-sec style recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Elderflower Syrup
  • 2 generous scoops (about 150 grams or 5 oz) Mixed Berry Sorbet
  • ¼ cup (about 40 grams) Fresh Berries (raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries), optional
  • A few sprigs Fresh Mint Leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill the champagne flutes or tall glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  2. Pour 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of elderflower syrup into each glass.
  3. Slowly pour 1 cup (240 ml) of chilled champagne or sparkling wine into each glass over the syrup, pouring gently to maintain bubbles.
  4. Use a spoon or stirrer to gently mix the syrup and champagne together without losing fizz.
  5. Add two generous scoops (about 150 grams or 5 oz) of mixed berry sorbet on top of each glass.
  6. Garnish with a few fresh berries and a sprig of fresh mint on each float.
  7. Serve immediately to enjoy the best fizz and creaminess.

Notes

Let sorbet soften for 3-5 minutes if too hard to scoop. Pour champagne slowly down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles. Keep glasses and champagne chilled for best results. Assemble just before serving to maintain fizz and texture. Non-alcoholic version possible by substituting sparkling water or white grape juice and adjusting elderflower syrup.
