Directions:

Combine 2 baskets raspberries and 2 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl. Mash
berries lightly with fork. Let stand 15 minutes. Mix in liqueur and
brandy. Pour into jar. Cover and let stand in dark cupboard 3 days. Strain
raspberry mixture, pressing on solids with spoon to extract as much liquid
as possible. (Can be made 1 month ahead. Cover and chill.)

Place one sugar cube in each of eight 6-oz Champagne flutes. Pour 2
tablespoons raspberry mixture over each sugar cube. Pour Champagne over to
fill glasses. Garnish each with raspberries and lemon peel.
