A refreshing, bubbly strawberry champagne cocktail with a sweet-tart flavor, perfect for summer parties, brunch gatherings, or celebratory toasts with friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine strawberries and lemonade in the container of an electric blender.
- Cover and process until smooth and thickened.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into a large pitcher or punch bowl.
- Add the chilled pink champagne and stir well to combine.
- Serve immediately.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the strawberries are fully blended before adding the champagne. If you can't find pink lemonade concentrate, you can substitute with regular lemonade and a splash of cranberry juice for color. You can also adjust the milk powder based on your creaminess preference. For a non-alcoholic version, replace champagne with sparkling water.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Strawberry Champagne in elegant flutes or chilled glasses. Garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim for a delightful presentation. This refreshing drink pairs beautifully with light appetizers, such as bruschetta or cheese platters, and is perfect for celebrations or brunch gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
This drink is best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Be aware that the champagne will lose its fizz, so it's best to consume it quickly. If you want to enjoy it chilled again, gently stir before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this drink a day in advance?
While you can prepare the strawberry mixture ahead of time, it's best to add the champagne just before serving to maintain its effervescence. If made in advance, store the mixture in the fridge and combine with champagne right before your event.
What can I use instead of pink champagne?
If pink champagne isn't available, you can use any sparkling wine or prosecco for a similar effect. Just ensure it’s chilled for the best flavor. For a non-alcoholic alternative, sparkling cider or flavored soda can also work well.
Is there a way to make this recipe less sweet?
To reduce the sweetness, consider using less pink lemonade concentrate or opting for a dry sparkling wine instead of sweet champagne. You can also add a splash of lemon or lime juice to balance the flavors.
