Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Puree
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen and thawed)
- 1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup (optional)
Drink
- 1 bottle chilled prosecco or champagne
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- Fresh mint for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit Puree: In a blender, combine the strawberries, mango chunks, and honey or simple syrup if using. Blend until smooth for a vibrant tropical base.
- Strain the Puree (Optional): For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp.
- Assemble the Drinks: Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the fruit puree into each champagne flute to provide concentrated fruit flavor and sweetness.
- Add Orange Juice: Pour a splash of orange juice into each flute to balance the flavors and add citrus brightness.
- Top with Prosecco or Champagne: Slowly add chilled prosecco or champagne to fill the glass, creating sparkling bubbles and lightness.
- Gently Stir: Stir the mixture gently to combine all the flavors without disturbing the bubbles.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy at its freshest.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit for a colder, slushy-style drink.
- Adjust sweetness to taste depending on the ripeness of the fruit.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute sparkling water or lemon-lime soda for prosecco or champagne.
