1. Add the fresh raspberries, pomegranate juice, and simple syrup to a blender or cocktail shaker.
2. Blend or muddle the ingredients until the raspberries are completely crushed and the mixture is smooth.
3. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a measuring cup or bowl to remove seeds and pulp. Discard the solids.
4. Divide the strained raspberry-pomegranate mixture evenly between two champagne flutes.
5. Slowly top each glass with chilled Prosecco, pouring gently to retain the bubbles and prevent overflow.
6. Add 2 ice cubes to each glass to keep the drink cold, if desired.
7. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and aroma, if using.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your Scarlet Bellini!
