Method
The Acidic Emulsion
- In a large crystal or glass mixing pitcher, vigorously stir together the pomegranate juice, Chambord, and fresh lime juice until the sugars and acids are completely unified.
- Store this concentrated botanical base in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Maintaining strict thermal control ensures the liquid will not melt the carbonation of the wine.
The Structural Float & Presentation
- Pour exactly 1 ounce of the chilled pomegranate and raspberry base directly into the bottom of a pristine crystal Champagne flute.
- Carefully top off the flute with the ice-cold Champagne. Pouring the highly carbonated wine over the dense juice creates a natural, mechanical mix without the need for stirring, which would destroy the delicate bubbles.
- Drop one or two fresh pitted cherries directly into the flute to serve as a botanical garnish and serve immediately.
