Instructions
Add prepared strawberries to a blender and puree until liquified.
Strain the puree through a fine mesh seive or strainer to remove any seeds or large clumps.
Pour approximately ¼ cup of the puree into each champagne flute or wine glass and then fill the remainder of the glass slowly with prosecco.
Garnish glasses with a fresh strawberry, if desired, and serve.
Notes
Puree - Pre-made strawberry puree usually has sugar in it and will make for a sweeter drink.
Prosecco - Champagne, sparkling white wine, or sparkling rosé can also be used. For a sweeter cocktail, try using sweet or fruity sparkling white wine as opposed to a more brut or dry variety.
For a crowd - Serve the puree in a small pitcher next to the bottles of chilled prosecco so guests can make their own.
Berries - Raspberries or blueberries can be pureed instead of, or in combination with the strawberries.
Non-Alcoholic - Replace the prosecco with club soda or strawberry-flavored sparkling water.
