they say strawberries and champagne are a perfect complement. this may very well explain why this cocktail is so delicious! by now everyone who knows a thing or two about me, knows that a good cocktail is something i don’t keep secret.
this is not a complicated recipe to make, but the liquor i use may not be available everywhere. it is called fragoli (meaning strawberries in italian). it is not a super sweet liquor (not even sure it qualifies as one) and it is filled with tiny wild strawberries which are about the size of raisins! those are not only delicious but they also render this cocktail simply sumptuous.
essentially all you need to do is poor a little bit of fragoli into a champagne glass (as shown below), then fill the rest with an inexpensive sparkling wine such as a prosecco or a crémant. like most of the cocktail recipes i write about, go with your taste for figuring out how much liquor you want in it. start with a little, and if you want it more flavourful, add a little more.
(in the glasses above i may have put a little too much, although it made a really nice picture)
one cool thing about the berries in the bottle: they have managed to carefully measure the amount so that there are strawberries until the very end of the bottle. so don’t worry that too many may fall into your glass ~ it’s a good thing!
please feel free to leave a comment after you’ve tasted it ~ thanks!
