Millennium is a vodka-topped sparkling cocktail that sits firmly in the celebratory, fruit-forward family of Champagne-glass serves. While it doesn’t have a widely documented single-point origin, it feels like a modern party drink: simple, bright, and built around the contrast of clean spirit and lively bubbles, with a vivid fruit element to make it feel like an occasion.
You’ll find vodka brings a neutral, crisp backbone that lets the other ingredients speak clearly rather than adding its own strong flavour. Raspberry purée delivers concentrated berry sweetness and a soft, pulpy richness, giving the drink its colour and most of its character. Champagne or prosecco then lifts everything with a dry, sparkling edge, stretching the raspberry into a lighter, more refreshing finish and keeping the sweetness in check.
Serve it in a Champagne glass when you want something that reads instantly as a toast—New Year’s, birthdays, anniversaries, or the first round at a dinner party. It suits you if you like sparkling drinks with a clear fruit note, and it’s an easy crowd-pleaser for guests who want something festive without a heavy, boozy profile.

Cocktail Colin says:
Vodka lays a clean, neutral base while raspberry puree brings bright berry sweetness and a soft, pulpy richness, all lifted by the crisp fizz and light fruit notes of Champagne/prosecco in the Champagne glass. The bubbles keep the puree from feeling heavy and the vodka stops it turning cloying, making it ideal for celebratory sipping and for anyone who likes sparkling, fruit-forward drinks.
