Equipment

  • Glasses I like to use whiskey glasses (also called a rocks glass), but champagne flutes and cocktail glasses also work well

Ingredients
  

  • 1 part chilled Champagne
  • 1 part chilled Pomegranate juice be sure to 100% pomegranate juice, if you use a mix the cocktail will not be purple!
  • 1/4 tsp edible glitter I used sliver
  • Ice Option. But I would highly recommend adding it if your champagne and juice aren't well chilled.

To make a Purple Rain mocktail

  • 1 part chilled sparkling water OR lemon-lime soda OR ginger ale
  • 1 part chilled pomegranate juice
  • 1/4 tsp edible glitter I used sliver
  • Ice Option. But I would highly recommend adding it if your soda and juice aren't well chilled.

Instructions
 

  • If you are using ice, add a few cubes to your glass.
  • Fill the glass halfway with pomegranate juice, and top with champagne, filling the glass almost to the brim.
  • Add the edible glitter, give a quick stir, and serve imminently.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

If you are making this drink just for yourself(or a few friends) and you have leftover champagne. You can easily save it and keep it bubbly, by placing a spoon handle in the neck of the bottle, then covering it with a tea towel or plastic wrap.
 
The spoon with keep the champagne fresh and bubbly, while the tea towel will keep out any dust or flies.
 
You can also look for resealing bottles if you know you are going to make this in a small batch. There are quite a few brands that sell champagne in these bottles now, and let me tell you, they are a lifesaver! That being said, however, more often than not I just use a spoon to save any leftover champagne and it hasn't failed me once!
 
Edible glitter will start to sink after a while. So be sure to serve your drink as soon as it's done, and give a quick stir as well.
