Christmas Life

We are getting closer to Christmas so I thought I would start adding some drink ideas to my blog. I will start today with some very simple, yet delicious fruity champagne cocktails, the great thing is you can really experiment with just about any fruit, also you can mix several together. I just made mine with strawberries and raspberries, I have listed the recipe below for strawberries but it is exactly the same for raspberries. Have fun and enjoy, if you come up with a yummy combo let me know.

Ingredients

Strawberry Puree

1Kg Fresh strawberries, chopped
250g Caster sugar

Per Each Glass

15ml Grand Marnier
8ml Grenadine
30ml Strawberry puree
Champagne (to top up)


1. Blend strawberries (or whatever fruit you are using.) with sugar in a blender or food processor. Makes about 1 litre. This puree will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

2. Mix Grand Marnier, Grenadine and strawberry puree together and pour into the bottom of a champagne flute.

3. Fill the glass slowly with champagne.

4. Stir and serve with a strawberry on the rim.
