5 Exciting Luc Belaire Cocktail Mixes to Try

Luc Belaire is the brand that turned sparkling rosé into a celebration headliner — the matte black-and-pink bottle has appeared in countless music videos and lifestyle shots since the early 2010s. Belaire Rare Rosé is the flagship: French sparkling wine, Provençal and Loire Valley grapes, semi-sweet, with strawberry and peach on the nose.

Most people pour it straight from the bottle into a flute and call it dinner. That works. But Belaire also mixes beautifully, and a few cocktails turn the bottle from a one-trick celebration into something memorable. Five worth trying.

1. The Belaire Mimosa

The Belaire upgrade to the brunch mimosa. The slightly sweet rosé replaces the usual prosecco or champagne, and the peach notes naturally complement orange juice.

• 4 oz Luc Belaire Rare Rosé, chilled
• 2 oz fresh-squeezed orange juice
• Optional: a splash of Cointreau

Build in a champagne flute. Pour the Belaire first, then the juice slowly to preserve the bubbles. Don't stir — let the layers settle. Serve cold.

2. Belaire Rare Spritz

The Aperol Spritz framework with Belaire as the base. Lighter, fruitier, easier to drink for non-Aperol fans.

• 3 oz Luc Belaire Rare Rosé
• 2 oz Aperol
• 1 oz soda water
• Orange slice and ice

Build in a wine glass over ice. Pour the Belaire first, then Aperol, then soda. Stir gently. Garnish with a fat orange slice. Perfect for warm afternoons on the patio.

3. French 75 with Belaire

The classic French 75 with Belaire in place of champagne. The rosé softens the gin's bite and adds a subtle berry note to the drink.

• 1 oz gin (Bombay Sapphire works well)
• 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 oz simple syrup
• Top with 3-4 oz Luc Belaire Rare Rosé

Shake the gin, lemon, and simple syrup with ice. Strain into a chilled flute. Top with Belaire. Garnish with a lemon twist. Stronger and more sophisticated than a straight mimosa.

4. Belaire Sangria

A pitcher cocktail that lets one bottle of Belaire serve 6-8 people.

• 1 bottle (750ml) Luc Belaire Rare Rosé
• 2 oz Cointreau or triple sec
• 4 oz fresh orange juice
• 1 sliced peach (in season) or apricot
• 1 sliced lemon
• Handful of fresh strawberries, halved
• Optional: 1 sprig fresh mint

Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher 1-2 hours before serving. Refrigerate. Stir gently before pouring over ice in wine glasses. The fruit infuses the sparkling wine without diluting it the way a long-marinated traditional sangria would.

5. The Rosé Royale

The lazy-elegant move — Belaire plus a small splash of high-end fruit syrup or liqueur to deepen the colour and intensity.

• 5 oz Luc Belaire Rare Rosé
• 0.25 oz crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur)
• Optional: a single raspberry or blackberry as garnish

Pour the crème de cassis into the bottom of a champagne flute. Top with Belaire. The crème naturally sinks, creating a gradient pink-to-deep-rose effect. No stirring required. Looks stunning, takes 15 seconds to build.

Tips for Mixing With Belaire

• Keep the bottle ice-cold — Belaire loses its sparkle quickly if it warms up. 4-6°C is ideal
• Open carefully — the bottle is genuinely pressurized. Hold the cork, twist the bottle, release pressure with a soft hiss (not a loud pop)
• Use it within 24 hours of opening — the carbonation drops significantly even with a stopper
• Pair with: charcuterie, fruit and cheese boards, dessert with fresh berries
