Ingredients
4 4 Fresh strawberries
15 ml 1/2 fl oz Simple syrup
120 ml 4 fl oz Sparkling wine (Prosecco)
5 ml 1/6 fl oz Lemon juice
Equipment
Blender- Fine mesh strainer
- Bar spoon
- Champagne glass
Instructions
- Wash and hull the strawberries. Blend them into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor. For a silky texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds.
- In a mixing glass or directly in the flute, combine the strawberry puree with the simple syrup and lemon juice (if using). Stir well to ensure the flavors blend.
- Slowly pour the chilled Prosecco into the flute. Tilt the glass to prevent excessive foam and preserve the carbonation.
- Use a bar spoon to gently combine the layers without losing too many bubbles.
- Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice on the rim or a sprig of mint for added visual appeal. Serve immediately.
