Ingredients

1 pound Fresh Strawberries 3 cups
2 Tablespoons Brandy
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 750 ml bottle Sparkling wine or Champagne

Instructions

Start with fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and vibrant color. Rinse them well under cool water, then remove the green tops (also called hulls) using a small paring knife or a strawberry huller.
Cut each strawberry into halves or quarters—this helps them blend smoothly and quickly. (Pro tip: If your strawberries are extra large, quartering them works best for even blending.)
Add the prepared strawberries to a blender along with the powdered sugar (for a touch of sweetness and silky texture) and the brandy (which adds a subtle warmth and depth—don’t skip it!).
Blend on high speed until the mixture is very smooth and silky, with no chunks remaining—about 1–2 minutes.
Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything gets incorporated. The result should be a gorgeous, vibrant pink puree that’s ready to shine!
Grab your chilled champagne flutes (the cold glasses help keep the bubbles lively!)
.Spoon or pour about ¼ of the strawberry puree into the bottom of each glass—this creates that beautiful layered look and fruity base
.Slowly top with chilled sparkling wine (or champagne/prosecco), filling the glass about halfway at first.
Give it a gentle stir with a long spoon or stir stick to mix the flavors without losing too many bubbles.
Then, finish filling the flute to the top with more sparkling wine. The bubbles will dance up through the puree for that classic fizzy, festive effect!
