These boozy grapes are soaked in gin, lemon juice, and champagne, then frozen briefly and rolled in lemon sugar for a sparkling finish. Inspired by the flavors of a French 75, they are cold, citrusy, and easy to prep ahead for parties.
Prepare the Grapes: Use a knife to poke several small holes in each grape to allow the liquid to absorb.
Soak: Place the grapes in a container. Add the gin and lemon juice, then pour in enough champagne or prosecco to fully cover the grapes. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
Freeze: Transfer the soaked grapes to the freezer for 1 hour.
Drain: Remove the grapes from the freezer and drain.
Coat: In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, lemon zest, and edible gold sparkles if using. Toss the drained grapes in the sugar mixture until evenly coated.
