Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of sparkling drink?

Yes! If you don’t have nonalcoholic Pinot Noir, you can substitute it with sparkling water, ginger ale, or nonalcoholic rosé.

What if I don’t have fresh raspberries?

No problem! You can use frozen raspberries (just let them thaw) or raspberry jam for a quicker version.

Can I make this in advance?

It’s best to prepare this mocktail right before serving to keep the bubbles fresh and the sherbet from melting too quickly.
