Ingredients
5 5 fresh strawberries
10 ml 1/3 fl oz simple syrup
90 ml 3 fl oz Prosecco or sparkling wine
Ice cubes
Equipment
Blender- Fine mesh strainer
- Champagne glass
- Jigger
- Bar spoon
Instructions
- Hull the strawberries, then blend them until smooth. If you don’t have a blender, you can muddle the strawberries thoroughly in a mixing glass.
- Pour the strawberry purée through a fine strainer to remove any seeds and pulp, leaving a smooth liquid.
- Add simple syrup to the purée, adjusting the sweetness to taste. Stir well.
- Pour the strawberry purée into a chilled Champagne flute.
- Slowly top up with Prosecco, pouring gently to maintain the bubbles. Stir very gently with a bar spoon to mix.
- Garnish with a small strawberry on the rim or a basil leaf, if desired, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries at room temperature, as they’ll be easier to blend and release more natural sweetness.
