Equipment

  • Equipment
  • Small blender or food processor
  • Fine mesh strainer (optional)
  • Measuring jigger or small measuring cup
  • Stirring spoon
  • 4 wine or spritz glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 2 teaspoons sugar optional, depending on how sweet your berries are
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 4 ounces St-Germain elderflower liqueur
  • 12 ounces chilled Prosecco about half a standard bottle
  • 4 ounces chilled sparkling water
  • Ice
  • Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
  • Sliced strawberries or lemon peel for garnish

Instructions
 

Make the Strawberry Purée

  • Blend 1 cup fresh strawberries with the juice of ½ lemon. Taste and, if needed, add 2 teaspoons of sugar and blend again. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother purée.

Make the Cocktails

  • Add 2 tablespoons (about 1 ounce) of strawberry purée to each glass.
  • Add 1 ounce of St-Germain and stir gently to combine.
  • Fill each glass with ice.
  • Pour 3 ounces of Prosecco into each, then top with 1 ounce sparkling water. Give each drink a gentle stir.
  • Garnish with a sprig of mint and a strawberry slice or twist of lemon. Serve immediately.

Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Strawberry Spritz:
  • Keep it Cold: Use well-chilled Prosecco and sparkling water for the best results.
  • Balance the Sweetness: If your strawberries are especially sweet, you might not need the added sugar in the purée. Taste before adding.
  • Gentle Stir: Don’t over-stir the drink once the bubbles are in—just a quick swirl to combine.
  • Fresh Mint Only: Use fresh, vibrant mint for the best flavor. Dried or wilted mint just won’t cut it.
Serving Suggestions:
  • Wine Pairing: This pairs beautifully with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc if you want to keep the party going.
  • Light Bites: Serve alongside prosciutto-wrapped melon, a simple caprese salad, or your favorite charcuterie board.
  • Elevated Picnic: Pack these in a cooler for a beach day or picnic and enjoy with fresh fruits and cheeses.
  • Special Touch: Add an edible flower for a touch of elegance.
Storage Instructions:
  • Strawberry Purée: Store any leftover purée in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. It’s great for a next-day round or even drizzled over desserts.
  • Leftover Spritz: This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to make a big batch, mix the purée and St-Germain ahead of time, then add the bubbles just before serving.
