Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, divided
  • 2/3 cup chilled Prosecco (Italian sparkling wine)
  • 1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1/8 teaspoon orange-flower water (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine raspberries, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice. Toss gently and let stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes until raspberries release their juices, tossing occasionally.
  2. In another small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of Prosecco and let it stand for 5 minutes to soften.
  3. In a saucepan, bring the remaining Prosecco and 2 tablespoons of sugar to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add the gelatin mixture, stirring until dissolved.
  4. Transfer the gelatin mixture to a large pitcher. Add the raspberries with their juices, the remaining lemon juice, and orange-flower water (if using), stirring to dissolve any sugar.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, divide the raspberries equally among coupe glasses or other small wide, shallow glasses or cups.
  6. Divide the Prosecco mixture equally among glasses, about 2 1/2 tablespoons per glass.
  7. Chill the gelée until firm, about 3 hours. Gelées can be made up to 2 days ahead. Cover and keep chilled.
