    three champagne flutes with prosecco and strawberry puree garnished with a fresh strawberry this recipe!

    The rossini cocktail is named after the famous Italian composer, Gioachino Rossini and is very similar to a bellini cocktail. A bellini is made with peach puree, where as a rossini is made with strawberry puree.

    Serve this fruity cocktail alongside a creamy mushroom risotto for valentine's day, with a hashbrown quiche for mother's day or even with a slice of lemon olive oil cake for a fun dessert!

    🍓 Ingredient notes

    • Strawberries - This rossini cocktail is made using fresh strawberry puree. Frozen strawberries will also work, but should be thawed and drained of any excess liquid before blending them.
    • Prosecco - Prosecco is a sparkling white wine from Italy that is similar to champagne. Champagne, sparkling white wine or sparkling rosé can also be used. For a sweeter version of this drink, try using a sweet or fruity sparkling wine as opposed to a more brut or dry variety.

    📋 Substitutions and variations

    • For a crowd - This cocktail is great for a crowd and can be scaled up as needed. Either serve the puree in a small pitcher next to the bottles of chilled prosecco or add the puree to a punch bowl and top with the prosecco. When serving this drink as a punch, the puree may need to be gently stirred with the prosecco to combine it together. Whole strawberries can be frozen to garnish the punch and serve as "ice cubes" to keep the punch cold. The ratio for scaling up the recipe is: 1 pound of fresh strawberries + 1 bottle of prosecco = 6 drinks.
    • Raspberries - For a different flavor, raspberries can be pureed instead of, or in combination with the strawberries.

    🍾 Step by step instructions

    First, remove the tops of the strawberries and puree them in a blender until liquified. Run the puree through a strainer to remove any seeds.

    Pour about ¼ cup of the puree into each champagne flute or wine glass and then fill the remainder of the glass with prosecco.

    Drinks can be garnished with a fresh strawberry on the side of the glass or with a half strawberry floating on top of the drink.

    ⭐ Expert tips

    • Using a high powered blender and straining the puree after blending it will help to make the smoothest strawberry puree.
    • When adding the prosecco to the glass, pour it slowly, so it doesn't overflow.
    • If the puree and prosecco don't blend together, the drink can be gently stirred to combine it.

    ⏲️ Make ahead and storage instructions

    The strawberry puree for this rossini cocktail can be made up to two days ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    Puree can also be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two months. Frozen puree should be thawed completely in the refrigerator and may need to be quickly blended in case of separation.
