Description
Make this simple and refreshing Strawberry Bellini cocktail, perfect for serving at your next brunch gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled Prosecco or dry sparkling wine
Instructions
- Combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth to create the strawberry puree.
- Press the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds, if desired. Discard solids.
- Chill the strawberry puree for at least 30 minutes.
- To serve, pour about 2 tablespoons of the chilled strawberry puree into the bottom of each champagne flute.
- Slowly top with chilled Prosecco. Stir gently once.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the Prosecco with chilled sparkling white grape juice or sparkling white cranberry juice.
- To make this ahead for a crowd, prepare the strawberry puree and keep it refrigerated. Do not mix with the sparkling wine until just before serving.
- For an elegant presentation, garnish each glass with a thin slice of strawberry on the rim.
