Sparkling wine, gin, and strawberries come together in this Strawberry Spritzer cocktail that blends sweet California grown berries with a touch of zest from lime. Cheers!
In a blender, puree strawberries, granulated sugar, and the juice of one lime.
Divide puree mixture between four champagne flutes.
Add 1 tablespoon of mint leaves to each glass and muddle well.
Add 1 ounce of gin to each glass.
Top with sparkling wine and a small splash of sparkling water.
Serve immediately.
Notes
To make the optional garnishes, pierce a hole through each strawberry with a toothpick. Strip leaves from mint sprig, leaving some foliage at the top of each stem. Place bare stem through the pierced strawberry. Rest across the rim of each glass.
