Equipment and Glassware

A champagne flute works best because it keeps the bubbles lively and gives the cocktail an elegant presentation.

How to Make It

This cocktail is quick to assemble and works best when everything is chilled.

1. Prepare the Glass: Add the peach purée and raspberry vodka to a chilled champagne flute.
2. Top with Prosecco: Slowly pour in the prosecco to preserve the bubbles. Stir gently if needed.
3. Garnish: Skewer a fresh raspberry and a Bunny Peeps candy on a cocktail pick, then place it into the glass for a festive presentation.

Because sparkling wine loses carbonation quickly, this drink should always be served right away.
