Description

A light and elegant strawberry rosé champagne cocktail that’s quick to make and perfect for celebrations, combining fresh strawberries, rosé champagne, and a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale

6 medium fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 bottle (750 ml) chilled dry or brut rosé champagne
2 tablespoons simple syrup (homemade or store-bought)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

In a mixing glass or pitcher, combine sliced strawberries, simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice.
Gently muddle the strawberries with a muddler or wooden spoon for about 2 minutes to release juices without pulverizing.
Let the mixture rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Chill champagne flutes in the fridge or freezer for about 15 minutes.
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the macerated strawberry mixture into each flute. Optionally strain for a clearer drink.
Add 1-2 small ice cubes to each glass if extra chilled cocktail is desired (may dilute bubbles).
Slowly pour about 5 ounces (150 ml) of chilled rosé champagne into each glass, pouring down the side to preserve bubbles.
Garnish with a fresh mint leaf and a whole strawberry on the rim or floated on top.
Serve immediately while sparkling and fresh.

Notes

Do not over-muddle strawberries to avoid bitterness and cloudiness. Keep champagne and glasses well chilled to preserve bubbles. Pour champagne slowly down the side of the glass. Serve immediately after assembling for best fizz. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute rosé champagne with sparkling rosé grape juice or sparkling water with cranberry juice.
