Place the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 5 minutes until they soften.
In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not let it boil.
Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Squeeze excess water from the softened gelatin sheets and add them to the warm sugar-water mixture. Stir until the gelatin is completely melted and incorporated.
Pour the champagne into a large mixing bowl. Slowly add the gelatin-sugar mixture to the champagne, whisking gently to combine while preserving as much of the champagne’s bubbles as possible.
Divide the fresh raspberries evenly among four serving glasses or bowls.
Carefully pour the champagne jelly mixture over the raspberries, ensuring they are well covered. Leave a little space at the top for garnish if desired.
Chill the glasses in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or until the jelly is fully set.
Before serving, optionally garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf. Serve chilled and enjoy!
