Why I love this recipe
This Champagne and Vodka Cocktail is super refreshing and easy to drink. Plus you don't really need any special skills or tools to make this yummy cocktail.
Muddled fresh mint is one of the reasons this drink is so refreshing. Fresh herbs are a great way to really liven up a cocktail. And mint does the trick every time.
Fresh blackberries give cocktails a sweet, fruity flavor and a fantastic pink color. They pair well with both vodka and champagne and can be found in most grocery stores all year long.
That's why this vodka champagne drink is one you need to make now.
Ingredients
While most of my cocktail posts feature a recipe that makes just one cocktail, this one is great for a crowd and serves 8!
If you're not a fan of blackberries, raspberries would be a great substitute.
You can substitute another herb if you prefer. Rosemary would be delicious!
I prefer to use club soda in my cocktails. There are subtle differences between club soda, seltzer water, and sparkling water. I don't think it matters all that much. All of them will make this a tasty beverage. Use whatever you have on hand or try them all and see which you prefer.
Use whatever vodka you prefer. Tito's is one of my go-to brands. It's easy to find and is very popular.
You can modify the recipe to serve 1 with just a little basic math. You can pick up the mini bottles from the grocery store so you don't have to open a whole bottle.
Directions
Step 1
In a cocktail shaker muddle the blackberries, mint sprigs and lemon juice.
Add the vodka and stir to combine.
In this case, you aren't adding ice to the shaker and shaking it to chill. It's just easier to use the shaker, with its built-in strainer lid.
Or you can use a bar pitcher and a strainer.
Step 2
Strain the muddled liquid into stemless wine glasses filled with ice until half full. Top with club soda.
Step 3
Finish up this blackberry vodka champagne cocktail with a splash of champagne.
Add a few fresh berries and sprig of mint to garnish. YUM!
Frequently Asked Questions
For this cocktail, we use vodka with champagne. But champagne is pretty versatile.
Although I haven't tried it out, I'm betting you can use champagne with any kind of liquor. Be sure to check out my Champagne and Bourbon Cocktail!
Champagne, which is sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France, comes in a wide variety of price points. Do not use something super pricey. Those are better sipped straight and enjoyed to celebrate a huge moment in your life.
Also skip the $4 bottles you find at the grocery store. Not great. A mid-priced bottle is perfect for this. You want to use something you would drink on it's own but any flavor flaws can be hidden by the rest of the ingredients.
Also look for Prosecco (Italy's version of champagne), Cava (Spain's version), and California Sparkling Wine. And while you can find sparkling wine in brut, extra brut, rosé, and so many other types, any of these are fine. The sweetness will change between the varieties but not so much that it will change the drink to be unrecognizable.
Top tips
- Get ahead. You can refrigerate the blackberry vodka mix for up to 2 days so it’s a great make-ahead cocktail.
- Prep cocktails for a crowd. Any recipe where you need to open a bottle of wine is great for a crowd. While you typically get 5-6 glasses of wine from a bottle, because you are only using a splash in this recipe, you can make a LOT of drinks.

Made this vodka champagne cocktail for a girls night and it was so pretty and delicious. Everyone was so impressed with me, but I didn't tell them how easy it was!
Sharon Garofalow says
HA! I love that. That's what most of my recipes are. I love when something is stupid easy but seems elevated.
Holly says
Yum. Served these vodka champagne cocktail drinks at a recent summer pool party and they went over super well. Easy to make too which is a bonus.
Sharon Garofalow says
I'm so glad you enjoyed the vodka champagne cocktail! I love that they are a little bit unique but still totally simple.
One Crazy House says
Can I make this vodka prosecco cocktail as a mocktail? An alcohol-free version would be so cute for watching the Barbie movie with my kiddo once we can stream it--but she's not "tall enough to reach the bar" yet ;)
Sharon Garofalow says
Yes! Leave out the vodka and use sparkling water or ginger ale for the bubbles! Such a cute movie watching idea.
Cindy Hopper says
This was the perfect drink for a Sunday Brunch I hosted!

Ok. You had me at vodka champagne cocktail but then you added blackberries and now I'm heading to farmer's market instead of catching up on laundry. Blackberries, vodka, and champagne? I'm all in!
Sharon Garofalow says
HA! I think you made the right choice. I'm so into blackberries this year. And they are just perfect in this vodka champagne cocktail.
Melanie C says
I'm always looking for new ways to use up the blackberries we have growing around our home. A vodka champagne cocktail sounds like the perfect treat for the end of a long day! I bet it would work well with just about any other fruit too.
Sharon Garofalow says
Lucky! I'd love to always have berries on hand for this vodka Prosecco cocktail.
Rita Joy says
This is perfect timing. The blackberries are just starting to turn ripe around here. This vodka champagne cocktail looks like a refreshing and beautiful way to use them. Thank you for the recipe!
Sharon Garofalow says
The blackberries add the perfect fruity touch to this champagne cocktail with vodka!

We had a blueberry vodka champagne cocktail a few weeks ago at a restaurant for our anniversary, and I've been searching for a similar recipe to use up some of the blackberries my hubby bought. I can't wait to give this one a try! Thanks for sharing it!
Sharon Garofalow says
Fantastic! You'll love this vodka champagne cocktail for sure! The blackberries give it a gorgeous color!
