Note

Ensure the champagne is well-chilled before adding it to the mixture to maintain the best texture and flavor.

If you do not have an ice cream freezer, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork to break up ice crystals until frozen.

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the champagne with chilled sparkling grape juice or white grape juice.

Store the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Fresh raspberries yield the best flavor, but frozen raspberries can be used if thawed and drained well before processing.
