VANILLA CRANBERRY MIMOSA
STRAWBERRY BELLINIS
2 cups frozen strawberries
1 cup water
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
Chilled champagne (or sparkling moscato)
Fresh strawberries to garnish (optional)
Combine the strawberries, water and sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat. Bring to a boil. To make a clearer syrup, remove the strawberries, and allow the syrup to cool completely.
Otherwise, break up the strawberries with a fork and allow the syrup to boil for about three minutes over low heat, stirring often. Transfer to a blender, blend, and strain through a mesh strainer.
For a cleaner syrup, strain through a cheesecloth. Allow the syrup to cool completely.
Pour a small amount of strawberry syrup in the bottom of a champagne flute and fill with champagne.
