Strawberry Champagne Cocktail
Crisp
and slightly sweet with fresh, juicy strawberries, this recipes has
evolved from it's original creator (and one of our Blogger Clue
Directors), Liz Berg of That Skinny Chick Can Bake.
Stacy's link to a Strawberry Simple Syrup can be found in her post
should you prefer a sweeter recipe, but I chose to use strawberries only
for my version.
As
our berries were fresh and plump from the farmers market, no additional
sweetening was needed, and the cocktail proved a perfect complement to
spontaneous brunch. Perfect of wedding and baby showers, New Years Eve,
or simply just because, the reddest, sweetest berries will bring a
sweet love to your drink.
Recipe adapted from Food Lust People Love
Fresh Strawberries (the redder and juicier the better - organic preferred)*
Champagne, Prosecco or other sparkling wine, chilled
Puree strawberries in a food processor or blender (just a few for a few drinks, more for larger parties).
Pour 1-2 Tbs of the strawberry puree into the bottom of fluted glasses. Top with chilled sparkling wine and enjoy!
*Liv Life Note: If your strawberries are not particularly sweet, see Stacy's post for a Strawberry Simple Syrup recipe to perk up the sweetness.
