Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled Prosecco
- 1/4 cup elderflower liqueur or elderflower syrup (for non-alcoholic version)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup club soda or sparkling water
- A handful of fresh mint leaves (optional)
- Ice cubes
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar or simple syrup (optional, if strawberries are not sweet enough)
Instructions
- Rinse and hull about 2 cups of fresh strawberries, then slice them thinly. Reserve a few whole berries for garnish if desired. Toss the slices into a large punch bowl or pitcher.
- Squeeze 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice over the strawberries to brighten the flavor.
- Taste the strawberries; if not sweet enough, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or simple syrup until dissolved.
- Add 1/4 cup elderflower liqueur or syrup and stir gently to blend.
- Chill the strawberry mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let flavors meld (optional but recommended).
- Just before serving, pour in the chilled bottle of Prosecco and 1 cup of club soda or sparkling water. Stir gently to preserve bubbles.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and whole strawberries. Fill glasses with ice cubes and ladle the punch over. Serve immediately.
Notes
Chill the strawberry and lemon juice mixture before adding Prosecco to prevent mushy fruit and enhance flavor infusion. Stir gently after adding Prosecco to keep bubbles intact. Use fresh ripe strawberries for best flavor and texture. Add club soda just before serving to maintain fizz. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Prosecco with sparkling white grape juice or sparkling water and use elderflower syrup instead of liqueur.
