Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle of dry or semi-dry champagne
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced
- 1–2 teaspoons granulated sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters.
- Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl or cocktail shaker. Add 1-2 teaspoons of granulated sugar (optional) and a splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently mash the strawberries until they release their juices to create a thick, fruity puree.
- If using a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes to the shaker along with the strawberry mixture. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture.
- Strain the strawberry puree into serving glasses. Skip this step if you prefer a chunkier texture.
- Top each glass with chilled champagne, pouring slowly to preserve the bubbles.
- Garnish with a fresh mint leaf and a whole strawberry on the rim of the glass.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
